Wonderful place, the chalk cliffs on Rügen near Sassnitz are a landmark of the island and one of Germany´s most significant natural wonders. Beautiful colors meet here. The white rocks, the green forest, and the turquoise water.

Photography Tips
Try it at sunrise to catch the glow at the chalk coast.
Be prepared to place your tripod (and feet!) into the sea to get the best shots. The tide and waves are very small, and the area is shallow, but you will need rubber boots/waders to get the best results.
