The Wieker Bodden is a lagoon or "bodden", that is largely surrounded by the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen. It is part of the North Rügen Bodden Chain. Location. The Wieker Bodden lies between the peninsula of Bug to the west and the main section of the peninsula of Wittow in the north and east. In the south the "bodden" is bounded by the Rassower Strom, which forms a link from the Vitter Bodden in the west to the Großer Jasmunder Bodden in the east. Neighbouring municipalities. The "bodden" gets its name from the village of Wiek  on its perimeter. Apart from Wiek the larger village of Dranske also lies on the Wieker Bodden. Loading ramp at Wiek. In Wiek the construction of a loading bridge was started before the First World War for the shipping from Kreide. The bridge is still there today, albeit in a state of decay. Surfing. In the northern part of the "bodden" it is very shallow and thus very popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers.
