The freshwater lake in front of you is the result of several storm surges that have plagued the island in the past. Due to the Petri flood in 1651, the island was divided into two parts.

Today the lake no longer has any salinity. There is a hiking trail all around - also through the Juister wood with its gnarled trees.
