It is part of the North Rügen Bodden Chain.
Apart from Wiek the larger village of Dranske also lies on the Wieker Bodden.
In Wiek the construction of a loading bridge was started before the First World War for the shipping from Kreide.
The bridge is still there today, albeit in a state of decay.
In the northern part of the bodden it is very shallow and thus very popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers.
