Kleiner Jasmunder Bodden

The Little Jasmund is a lagoon and belongs to the North Rügen Bodden and is a marginal waters of the southern Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg -Western Pomerania within the island. It is approximately seven miles long and five miles wide (partly also much narrower ). It has an area of ​​28.4 square kilometers.

The water area is bounded to the north of the Jasmund peninsula, to the east of the Spit the Schmale Heide and in the south of the main part of the island of Rügen, the Muttland. In the northwest at Lietzow over a drain with lock, there is a connection to the Great Jasmund. The separation of the two Bodden took place only in 1869 by a dam embankment ( B96 and railway Stralsund - Sassnitz ). This mound of Bodden was more or less a lake. The coast of the bay is relatively strongly structured, so projects in the southwest peninsula of the Pulitz far into the bay. This is designated as a nature reserve Pulitz.

The water of the Little Jasmund Bodden is hardly salty because there is no direct connection to the Baltic Sea, there is more. The channel to the Great Jasmund, who also only has a salt content of 0.6 to 0.7 percent, is not sufficient for a continuous salt entry. The lagoon is considered to be rich in fish. The water quality is greatly advanced by the discharges of sewage treatment plant Bergen bad and eutrophication.
