Königsstuhl (King's Chair) is the best-known chalk cliff on the Stubbenkammer in Jasmund National Park on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen.
It can be reached along a cliff top path, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) long in total, that runs from Sassnitz to Lohme, or from the large car park in Hagen (in the municipality of Lohme) 3 km (1.9 mi) away.
Since 2004, entry to the National Park Centre, and hence access to Königsstuhl, has been subject to a charge.
The narrow yet massive granite steps that lead to the plateau on Königsstuhl, 200 m2 (2,200 sq ft) in area, lie over the site of what is suspected to be a Bronze Age barrow.
According to a legend, the name is actually derived from a custom whereby in ancient times the person elected king was the first to climb the cliffs from the sea and sit in the chair on the top.
