The stones in the sand and clay are particularly interesting, they stand out different ones.

The steep coastline in the north of Poel Island stretches between Timmendorf Beach and Gollwitz and forms one of the island's most striking landscape features. It is a prime example of the Baltic Sea's sculptural power, constantly reshaping the coastline through wind, waves, and rain.

The subsoil consists primarily of glacial till, clay, and sand deposited during the Weichselian glaciation. Erosion regularly causes small collapses, with material from the upper slopes plunging into the sea. These processes result in the coastline retreating slightly each year. Visitors should therefore avoid the edge of the cliffs and stay on the designated paths.

At the foot of the steep coast lie narrow, natural beaches with pebbles, clay fragments, and occasional stretches of sand. Here, various types of rock and traces of geological deposits can be discovered. Especially after stormy weather, flint, fossils, or small pieces of amber may be found.

The northern cliffs are a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. Hardy coastal plants such as marram grass, wild roses, and sea buckthorn thrive in the upper reaches, while gulls, swallows, and sand martins nest on the slopes. From the higher vantage points, a sweeping view opens up across the Baltic Sea to the bird sanctuary island of Langenwerder.

With its blend of geological diversity, scenic beauty, and tranquil natural surroundings, the cliffs in northern Poel are among the island's most impressive natural areas.
