Description
National park Jasmund is located in the east of the island of Rügen. It is famous for its impressive, millennia-old chalk cliffs and its rustic beech forests. The cliffs are the largest chalk cliffs in Germany, the highest of which is Königsstuhl (King's chair), rising to 118 m above the Baltic Sea.
Typical forest birds such as the European Robin can be observed here. But rarer forest birds such as Black Woodpecker can also be observed. Rarities that can be regularly observed here are Red-breasted Flycatcher and Greenish Warbler. In addition, the Peregrine Falcon breeds on the chalk cliffs.
Many migratory birds can be observed in front of the chalk cliffs, and for some time now the Northern Gannet have also been seen frequently. It is not uncommon to see Black-throated Diver and White-tailed Eagle here.
