Insel Poel, Baltic Sea resort in Nordwestmecklenburg District, Germany.
The island spans 36 square kilometers with sandy beaches along its coastline and connects to the mainland through a causeway built in 1927.
The fortress constructed by Duke Adolf Friedrich I in 1614 served as a strategic defense point until its materials were reused by locals in 1740.
The Lutheran church in Kirchdorf contains a 15th-century altar and displays a model fishing boat from 1936, representing maritime traditions.
Visitors can access the island through multiple parking areas, with geographic coordinates at 54.0079769 latitude and 11.4581377 longitude.
The name Poel originates from a Common Slavic word meaning flat land, reflecting the island's low elevation of 8 meters above sea level.
