Rügen

Rügen is Germany's largest island, lying off the Pomeranian coast of the Baltic Sea in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and covering 926.4 square kilometers. Its best known feature is the chalk cliffs of the Jasmund peninsula, laid down during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago and now protected within the UNESCO-listed Jasmund National Park, with the Königsstuhl cliff serving as the island's landmark. The rest of the coastline, 574 kilometers long, is shaped by sandy beaches, lagoons called Bodden, and open bays, and the island's highest point, Piekberg, reaches only 161 meters. Rügen's several peninsulas, including Jasmund, Wittow, Zudar and Mönchgut, are separated by lagoons and linked by sandbars and embankments.
