Darß-Zingst Boddens, Northern Rügener Boddens and Schlei

Abstract

The Darß-Zingst Boddens (DZB) represents the typical bodden coasts of northern Germany, which stretch from the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula via the islands of Hiddensee, Rügen and Usedom to the Polish island of Wolin. The “double coasts” show the typical features of level coasts at the seashore while, at the back, the indented boddens and lagoons are inner seawaters that are subject to a progressive phytogenic silting-up.
