So weit ich erinnere ist die Straße nur für die Pendelbusse und mit Sondergenehmigung freigegeben.

Hi Clara, yes, there are several accesses from the upper cliffs to the beach. However: - Its not a beach in the sandy or small pebblestone idea of a beach. Its on average fist sized round rocks that one walks on. - The paths from The cliffs to the beach are pretty steep. - "...knee surgery...can walk but not too much or too heavy..." diesn't sound right for this idea. - You can access those beaches more easily from the village Sassnitz, but remember the rocks. It is a beautiful spot though!

Bonjour Catherine, ça dépend du temps donc il n‘y a pas de garantie. Je suppose que la plupart des feuilles sera déjà tombée, mais l‘automne est une très belle période quand mème :-) La mer et les plages sont toujours magnifiques. Profitez bien de votre séjour! Christina

This was my experience; however, I'm not sure the route and distance from the parking area to the alternate access points. The long distance to the other access point was from the information center area, so it might be possible that it isn't as long a hike. I am not to where I can look at the details right now, but I will try later to determine what the alternate path and trail was and get back to you. This tidbit was on Wikipedia page for Königsstuhl National Park Centre, and I'll copy/paste it here before cross-referencing it later for you (to the best of my ability): "There are 4 descents from the clifftop path to the beach: wooden steps on the shore of the Hanke between Lohme and the Königsstuhl, by the Königsstuhl going towards the Victoria viewpoint (closed since the Wissower Klinken collapsed), on the Kieler Ufer, and at the Hengst. There are two other descents on the National Park boundary, one at Sassnitz am Wedding and the other in Lohme." I'll see if I can match up those details with any parameters later, but have to adhere to other tasks for several hours first. My apologies. Hope this helps in the meantime.

Dear Gunnar, maybe already too late, but now you´ll get response on your question. Public transport by train is possible till Sassnitz. From there you can you the busline 20 to Königsstuhl, which is starting directly at the train / bus station.
