After a morning visit to the Sellin time to visit the northern part of the island. The island of Rügen is famous for its coastal cliffs and we decided to explore one of them. We had once been on a cliff in Denmark and wanted to compare how they would look here.
The area to the north of the Sassnitz city is covered by forest belonging to the Jasmund National Park. Access to the park is restricted to non-car vehicles, so we left the car at the edge of the park and drove to the center on bicycles. We found parking at a bend on the L303 road, there is a small tavern at which you can park your car.
We got our bikes out of the car and rode. Before us was a road about 2 km long. We couldn’t even get tired. The road in the direction of the Museum of National-Zentrum Königsstuhl leads downhill, but the return would be a little more difficult.
The path we were going had limitations for car traffic. Only buses and taxis are allowed to drive here.
We reached the car park at the front of museum. That was where we left our bikes. We went for a walk into direction of Victoriasicht cliff. Our joy didn’t last long. After several hundred meters we reached the steps that should lead us down the cliff. We saw that the stairs were closed. Unfortunately, there was an information board, but only in German.
Fortunately after a while we found a young couple who helped us to translate the text into English. We noticed that unfortunately, the stairs were closed due to fallen rocks and were currently under repair. It’s a pity we didn’t know this before arriving. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens that the main part of the tour can’t be reached due to force majeure.
Well, all we could do was to continue walk in the upper part of the cliff. We had the opportunity to see the view from the view point where there was a small metal bridge with padlocks that couples had left.
That’s good!
We need to mention, that we didn’t entered museum. The price was not encouraging, and we had another great trip scheduled for that day – we wanted to visit abandoned buildings of Prora.
