Fischland

Fischland, Coastal isthmus in Vorpommern-Rügen District, Germany.

Fischland is a narrow strip of land along the Baltic Sea coast in Vorpommern-Rügen that divides two bodies of water. Its western side features steep cliffs, while the eastern shore shows flat banks with low vegetation.

Fischland was an island until the 14th century, bounded by the navigable Permin in the south and the Loop in the north. In 1392 or 1393, 1,000 men from Rostock destroyed Ahrenshoop's harbour and dammed the Loop; around 1400, Stralsund sank three ships in the Permin to close it. Storm floods later reopened the inlets, notably in 1625, 1761, 1786 and 1872.

The name Fischland means "fish land". The old border between Mecklenburg and Pomerania ran along the former Loop inlet at today's Grenzweg in Ahrenshoop; until recent times it separated the Mecklenburg and Pomeranian state churches. Ahrenshoop, just beyond Fischland on the Vordarß, is known as a residence and holiday resort for artists.

The strip is reachable by coastal roads from nearby towns, and buses connect the villages regularly to other settlements in the region. Visitors on foot can follow paths along both shores, each offering different views and walking experiences.

The Bakelberg near Althagen, at 17.9 metres above sea level, is the highest point on Fischland. It rises beside the steep cliff of Althagen/Niehagen, while the Saaler Bodden shore lies only centimetres above the water. Storms remove about half a metre of the Baltic coast each year, material redeposited further north at Darßer Ort.
