Reporter Michael Wigge has been exploring interesting locations in Germany in his 1960's classic car. This week, he's been to Germany's biggest island. Rügen is famous for its chalk cliffs, including the "King's Chair" which rises 118 meters into the heavens and the bizarrely-shaped "Wissower Klinken" which unfortunately crashed into the sea in 2005. Michael Wigge learns that the cliff line is constantly changing because the chalk cliffs are so soft.
