The Jasmund National Park (in German, Nationalpark Jasmund) is a nature reserve on the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Federal State. It is famous for containing the largest chalk cliffs in Germany. These cliffs are up to 161 m (528 ft) above the Baltic Sea. Its surface area is 30 km2 (12 sq mi). It was established on September 12, 1990 by the government of the German Democratic Republic. On June 25, 2011, the beech forest in the park was added to UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and the Ancient Beech Forests of Germany.
