Glowe Beach
Highlight • Beach
Both the cape and the beach are repeatedly affected by beach rinses and crashes. In 1973, the entire beach of Glowe had to be secured with groynes and massive boulders. Only in 2007 was the massive sandy beach created again. On 4 to 5 January 2017 caused the Deep Axel a bathtub effect in the Baltic Sea and thus a storm flood. This arises after storms from the northwest, when the water is pressed towards the Baltic and Gulf of Finland and nachführendem water comes from the North Sea. In subsequent storms on the northeast, the pent-up water from the east is suddenly pressed towards Rügen and Schleswig-Holstein. The water can not flow back so fast into the North Sea and it comes to floods. Nevertheless, the meteorologically less educated journalists spoke of the worst "storm surge" since 2006. My pictures document the situation on the beach of Glowe on 05.01.2017. The peak of the flood had already passed, the flood had reduced the beach dune on the beach by 1 to 2 meters (indicated by the under-washed fence post). The waves still raged on the eastern beach, an ideal time for beachcombers and amber seekers. Impressive were the differences in the wind conditions these days. In the old towns / ports of Sassnitz and Glowe it was almost windless, whereas in Lohme and on the eastern beach of Glowe the storm was so rough, walking or photographing was hardly possible.
