Burgwallinsel, Medieval castle islet in Teterower See, Germany.

The small forested island rises 62 meters above sea level and contains remains of ancient fortifications near the southern section.

Archaeological evidence indicates continuous habitation from the 7th to 12th centuries, with pottery fragments revealing both Slavic and German settlements.

The island represents the territorial legacy of the Müritz tribe, who belonged to the Lutici federation during the 10th century.

A ferry service operates between Easter and September, connecting visitors to the island where hiking trails and natural viewpoints await.

Local farmers established the first transportation system to the island, using ferries to move their grazing livestock across the water.
