Seebrücke Göhren
Göhren Pier is a pier in the Baltic seaside resort of Göhren on the German island of Rügen.
The pier is 350 metres long, of which 270 metres projects into the Baltic Sea. The structure was built in 1993. Access is through a traditional, white-painted and green roofed pier house (Brückenhaus) onto the pier with its wooden decking. Cruise vessels dock at the landing stage at the end of the pier.
In 1898, a 1,002 metre long pier was built on Göhren's south beach. This was demolished during the First World War. On Göhren's north beach a 500 metre long pier had been erected; this was still being used in the early 1950s.[1]
Buskam
The Buskam, also Buhskam or Buskamen is a large glacial erratic boulder, 325 metres off the coast of Göhren, Rügen, northern Germany. Erratics have been scattered all over northern Germany by the glaciers of the Ice Age, but are usually much smaller. The Buskam has a volume of about 600 m3, a circumference of about 40 metres, and weights about 1,600 tons. A third of it lies above the water surface.
Cavities in the rock indicate that the Buskam was used as a ritual place in prehistory, when such caved rocks were commonly used for ritual sacrifice. An iron crucifix was attached to it after the conversion of Pomerania.
According to local legends, the Buskam is the site where witches dance during Walpurgis Night, mermaids are also supposed to dance often on the rock.[2]
