Rocks of Romance

The white rocks of Rügen are the inflated icon and aesthetic sacralization of a living myth. This can be connected to the famous painting Chalk Cliffs by Caspar David Friedrich, which is a symbol of the indefinite longing of German romanticism.

In times of the modern search for deep meaning, this myth is also propagated by the tourist board - despite constant changes in the landscape due to human influences and erosion.
