    Ein sehr schöner Weg, den man gelaufen sein muss, auch wenn es an der Steilküste sehr hüglich ist. 😁💪

    Bin die Tour entgegen der angegebenen Laufrichtung gegangen sodaß die Höhepunkte der Tour ab Mitte der Wegstrecke kamen. Strecke vom Parkplatz bis zur Waldhalle durch den Buchenwald kam mir zu der jetzigen Jahreszeit zäh vor, vor allem auch weil viel auf Radwegen gegangen wird. Steilküste natürlich super!

    Traumhafte und eindrucksvolle Steilküste auf Rügen. Der Wanderweg führt nahezu durchweg oberhalb der Klippen durch den Buchenwald. Gegen Ende der Tour wird dann der Königsstuhl erreicht. Da es sich um eine Streckenwanderung handelt, muss man je nach persönlicher Ausgangslage per ÖPNV, den Wanderweg wieder zurück oder unterhalb der Klippen entlang des Strandes zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Ich persönlich habe mich für letzteres entschieden, da man so noch andere Ausblicke genießen kann, sich die Höhenunteschiede des Weges und auch etwas Wegstrecke spart. Für den Hinweg und Rückweg sollte man jeweils mindestens 4 Stunden einplanen. Tipp: Da der Zielort Lohme eher uninteressant ist, kann man bereits kurz hinter dem Königsstuhl zum Strand absteigen und spart somit ca. 1 Stunde Wegstrecke.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour mit spektakulären Blicken auf die Kreidefelsen. Genug Zeit einplanen für die vielen Fotostops und Besichtigung des Nationalparkzentrums. Nur von dort ist der Königstuhl sichtbar!

    Tolle Tour. Vom Schwierigkeitsgrad aber eher Mittel. Durch einiges hoch und runter ist die Tour auch gut anstrengend. Sind auch mit dem Bus von Lohme nach Sassnitz, hat super geklappt.

    Diese Tour bräuchte eigentlich 6Sterne für mich ist die einfach nur genial. Wir sind sie jetzt schon 2mal gelaufen. Wir sind in Lohme gestartet. Auto in Sassnitz für 5,5 am Rügenzentrum geparkt und mit der Linie 14 hoch nach Lohme. Diese Runde bietet soviel Ausblicke das man nur wie eine Schnecke voran kommtWas mich auch wundert die Strecke ist nicht so überlaufen wie ich erwartet habe. Wir sind letztes Jahr ein Stück am Strand gelaufen, dieses Jahr sind wir oben geblieben.Was besser ist keine Ahnung müssen wohl nochmal laufen. Diese Wanderung ist bei mir in der Favoritenliste
