Nordperd

The Nordperd (Perd = Slavic for protrusion or prominence[1]) is a cape on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen.

The Nordperd has been protected by coastal defence measures and is thus relatively unaffected by the normal active processes of a graded shoreline.

Its terrain typically consists of dry grasslands,[2] sycamore-ash woods on the cliff slopes[3] and beaches[4] and shallow waterbodies.

Also, the northern section of the beach has a spa promenade at the Baltic Sea coastal resort Göhren, Between Göhren Pier and the Nordperd lies the Buskam, the largest glacial erratic in North Germany, which projects about one metre (3.3 ft) above the sea.

Between the Nordperd and the Südperd, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) away, are the flat sandy beaches of the Mönchgut peninsula, interrupted by the 15-metre (49 ft)-high cliff at Lobber Ort [de].
