Anchorages in Rügen & Vorpommern

Bodden lagoons — shallow channels, strict Nationalpark rules

The Bodden lagoon system around Rügen is very shallow (1–4m). Never stray outside buoyed channels — areas outside marks may be 0.5m. Speed limit 8kt in all Bodden areas. The Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft covers the entire area: bird sanctuary areas closed seasonally, seal exclusion zones, no landing on uninhabited islands. Stralsund approach: the Rügendamm (railway bridge) has only 7m air clearance — use the Ziegelgraben channel alongside.
