Barther Bodden

Large parts of the Barther Bodden have a depth of less than 2 meters, so that shipping is very restricted.

To the north is the Zingster Strom, the river-like section of the bodden south of Zingst.

To the northwest lie the well-known islands of Kirr and Barther Oie, both important breeding areas for gulls, terns, waterfowl and waders.

These rise just a few centimetres above the water level of the bodden and are out of bounds to visitors.

The Kirr is used as cattle pasture and, during the autumn migration is an important stopover for cranes.
