Vilm, Protected island in Putbus, Germany.
The 2.5-kilometer-long island features ancient beech and oak forests, with a distinct shape resembling a tadpole divided into Great Vilm and Little Vilm sections.
The island originated from a moraine 6000 years ago, later becoming a Slavic temple site and subsequently transforming into a medieval Christian pilgrimage destination.
From 1959 to 1990, the island functioned as a restricted retreat for East German government officials, including leaders Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker.
Access requires advance booking through Lauterbach harbor, with tours limited to 30 visitors at once and operating from March to October.
The island maintains a 100-meter restricted zone where boats cannot approach and swimming is prohibited to protect its natural environment.
