Stubbenkammer

Cliff Famous chalk cliff formations on Rügen island coast

Chalk cliffs on Rügen island in northern Germany, the Stubbenkammer provide coastal walks, beech-forest paths and elevated Baltic Sea viewpoints.

Stubbenkammer is a stretch of white chalk cliffs on the Jasmund peninsula of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The cliffs form part of Jasmund National Park and are a notable coastal landmark.

The cliffs are the exposed edge of Cretaceous chalk deposits and have been shaped by marine erosion over millennia; the area was set aside as part of Jasmund National Park to protect its geology and beech forests.

The Stubbenkammer cliffs are on the northeastern coast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, facing the Baltic Sea and accessible from the nearby townships on the peninsula.

Geology and protection: Part of the Jasmund National Park complex on Rügen island, featuring exposed white chalk cliffs formed from Cretaceous marine sediments.
Cliff height: The prominent cliff called Königsstuhl reaches approximately 118 meters above sea level and is the park's main lookout point.
