Hiddensee, Baltic Sea island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Located west of Rügen, this 19-square-kilometer island features white sandy beaches, salt marshes, cliffs, and pine forests along its 16-kilometer stretch.
The island's name stems from early Nordic texts mentioning Hedinsey, referring to a Norwegian king, and appears in the medieval Prose Edda collection.
The Gerhart Hauptmann House preserves the legacy of numerous writers and artists who found inspiration on this Baltic island throughout the centuries.
Motor vehicles remain prohibited on the island, with transportation limited to bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, and electric buses for environmental protection.
The northern section rises to 72 meters above sea level, creating a highland landscape that contrasts with the central region's dunes and heathland.
