Kiseldamm

Kiseldamm is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of Rügen, Germany. It is part of the Nordost-Rügen National Park and is known for its unique geological features and ecological significance.

The island is characterized by its white, sandy beaches and dunes, which are a result of the island's unique geological composition. Kiseldamm is primarily composed of chalk, which gives it a distinctive white appearance. This chalky soil is a remnant of the island's former connection to the mainland, which occurred during the last ice age when sea levels were lower.

The island is home to a diverse range of plant and animal life. Its chalky soil supports a variety of plant species, including rare and endangered plants. The island is also a breeding ground for several bird species, making it an important stopover point for migratory birds. The island's remote location and pristine environment have contributed to its conservation status, with strict regulations in place to protect its natural habitats.

Kiseldamm is accessible only by boat, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Visitors can explore the island's beaches, dunes, and coastal paths, and enjoy the unique geological features and natural beauty of this remote Baltic Sea island. However, due to its protected status, visitors must adhere to specific guidelines and regulations to minimize their impact on the environment.
