Ahrendsberg (German pronunciation: [ˈaːʁəntsˌbɛʁk]) is an uninhabited island, 8.6 hectares (21 acres) in area, near the island of Poel in the Breitling, a strait off the Bay of Wismar on the Baltic coast of Germany.
The island, which is roughly 600 metres (2,000 ft) long and up to 220 metres (720 ft) wide,[citation needed] is dominated by salt meadows with shores that are dissected by creeks. The higher areas are generally very dry, nutrient-poor, and are characterised by stunted vegetation, for example dry, lean grassland with thistle (Cirsium acaule) and sand thyme (Thymus serpyllum).[1] At the southern tip of the island is a short section of cliff.[2]
