Sassnitz

Sassnitz is best known in Germany for its position beside Jasmund National Park and the white chalk cliffs of Königsstuhl. The town occupies Rügen’s northeastern Baltic Sea coast, where beech forest reaches the shore above cliffs formed from chalk. Its harbour has long linked the island to Baltic transport routes, and the former railway-ferry connection with Trelleborg in Sweden established Sassnitz as an important port. Ferries, fishing vessels and excursion boats still give the waterfront a working maritime character. See how Sassnitz fits into Rügen and the Baltic coast by browsing webcams nearby.
