Priwall Peninsula
The Priwall Peninsula (German: ''die Halbinsel Priwall'' or'' Der Priwall'') is a spit located across from the town of Travemünde at the Trave River estuary, on Germany's Baltic Sea coast. Since 1226 it has been administratively part of Travemünde, itself controlled by Lübeck. The southern part has been designated a nature reserve (''Naturschutzgebiet Südlicher Priwall''). The Priwall is the eastern terminus of a bicycle path, opened in 1995, that begins at the Danish border at the town of Kruså. More famously, it is the northern terminus of the former inner German border, and a few remnants of the border fortifications have been preserved near the beach. The Priwall's principal attraction is otherwise the four-masted barque ''Passat'' (now a museum ship) of the Flying P Line – which also included the four-masted barque '' Priwall''. The beaches of the Priwall at the Bay of Lübeck were the site of a former annual sand festival called Sand World. See also * German lang ...

Meander
A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves in the channel of a river or other watercourse. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank ( cut bank) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar. The result of this coupled erosion and sedimentation is the formation of a sinuous course as the channel migrates back and forth across the axis of a floodplain. The zone within which a meandering stream periodically shifts its channel is known as a meander belt. It typically ranges from 15 to 18 times the width of the channel. Over time, meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering challenges for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges.Neuendorf, K.K.E., J.P.
