Streams
Review the collection of named streams identified across the Jasmund National Park terrain. This resource maps the hydrological pathways flowing from inland moors toward the dramatic Baltic coastline, highlighting their connection to the protected forest ridge and geological chalk formations found on Rügen island.
Bays
A bay is a body of water partly enclosed by a curved or recessed shoreline while remaining openly connected to a larger sea, ocean, or lake. Its form may reflect erosion, drowned valleys, glacial excavation, faulting, volcanic structure, sediment barriers, or other coastal processes. The category describes geographic enclosure and should not be treated as synonymous with a gulf, lagoon, harbor, or estuary when the source uses a more specific identity.
Islands
An island is a discrete area of land completely surrounded by water, occurring in oceans, lakes, rivers, wetlands, or reservoirs. Islands can originate through volcanism, tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment deposition, reef growth, glacial processes, or the isolation of former mainland terrain. The category spans very different scales and does not by itself establish remoteness, habitation, geology, or ecological uniqueness.
