Hiking destination in pictures
A picture is worth a thousand words.
The term ‘forum’ originally comes from Latin and at that time stood for a central square in cities of the Roman Empire. For us on Jasmund, it stands for an idyllic meeting place right next to the World Heritage Site.
Beech forests
Our World Heritage sub-area on Jasmund
In June 2011, great things happened for the protection of ancient forests in Germany. Five German beech forests gained worldwide attention virtually over a summer night in Paris. Including - WE - with our forests on Jasmund.

Germany's contribution to the heritage of mankind
The guiding principle of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention is the ‘consideration that parts of the cultural or natural heritage are of outstanding importance and must therefore be preserved as part of the world heritage of mankind as a whole’ (from the preamble to the World Heritage Convention). By signing the Convention, the States Parties undertake to protect the World Heritage sites located within their borders and to preserve them for future generations.
