The peninsula is 900 metres wide at its narrowest point, and its highest elevation is found in the east of the peninsula at a height of 25 m above NN. The Zudar also has the southernmost point of Rügen, the Palmer Ort
History
Until 12 June 2004 the municipality of Zudar that lies on the peninsula was independent. From that date it was incorporated into the town of Garz.[1] This also affected the former Zudar parishes of Freudenberg, Foßberg, Glewitz, Grabow, Losentitz, Maltzien, Poppelvitz and Zicker.
The Glewitz Ferry – the second most important link between Rügen and the mainland after the fixed Strelasund Bridge – runs between Stahlbrode and the Zudar.
