School class hiking day “Baltic Sea”

Brackish water, the nation’s bathtub, a natural area and at the same time an economic area. And what do you associate with the Baltic Sea? Accompanied by breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea, we hike along the cliff-top trail from Sassnitz to the KÖNIGSSTUHL National Park Centre. We trace the secrets, the formation, the challenges, and above all the life of the youngest of all seas. And what can you contribute to the protection of the Baltic Sea? We also want to find answers to this together. Afterwards, you have the opportunity to explore the indoor adventure exhibition with an audioguide and learn more about the diverse habitats in Jasmund National Park.

What awaits you:

• 6 to 6.5-hour guided hike on the topics of the formation of the Baltic Sea, habitat, environmental pollution, and protection initiatives
