About this spot

In the north of Rügen, on the Wittow peninsula on the eastern shore of the Wieker Bodden, lies one of Germany's most reliable flat-water venues. Thanks to its sheltered position the water is often ironed flat: a huge sandy standing area roughly 500 metres wide and about two kilometres long, with separate entries for kite and windsurf, makes the spot perfect for beginners, foilers and freestylers.

A narrow spit separates the Bodden from the open Baltic – giving Wiek a lot of wind and a reputation as one of the windiest corners of the country. Best directions are W, SW and NW, when the wind stands cleanly over the water. When is the best time to visit? May to September with warm water. Rig on the meadow at the campsite, enter at the Wiek pier; parking is limited – arrive early.
