Flint fields, Natural flint deposit in Vorpommern-Rügen, Germany.

The flint fields spread across 40 hectares between Mukran and Prora, featuring 14 consecutive stone walls that stretch two kilometers along the Baltic coast.

Storm floods eroded the Cretaceous deposits from the Jasmund peninsula 3,500 to 4,000 years ago, creating this natural formation of flint stones.

The location earned the name Steinernes Meer due to its vast coverage of stones, reflecting the German perception of this natural geological formation.

Visitors must park at Neu Mukran and walk two to three kilometers on marked trails to reach the fields, as direct vehicle access is not permitted.

The thickness of the flint layer prevents dense vegetation growth, resulting in a specific ecosystem where only certain plant species can establish themselves.

Location: Vorpommern-Rügen District
