Landschaft
South east Rügen – formed by glaciers of ice age and the swell of the Baltic Sea.
The actual aspect of the south-east Rügen has been shape by the Würm glaciation which occurs for about 10.000 – 12.000 years.
After the glaciers melting time and the elevation of see level, low-country were submerged. Some islands were isolate and archipelagos were created.
During this time, wind and water action in costal landscapes formed isthmus and peninsula between the central islands. The Mooreland and the Zicker isthmus, with their long beaches, are typical isthmus into the Biosphere Reserve.
To preserve the peninsular system of the Baltic Sea, those coastal landscapes are defined as Bodden.
For over 5000 years, Humans were the biggest actors of the landscape’s shape. Into the Biosphere Reserve of south-east Rügen, we can find a lot of trace of the ancient cities. You could find relics of prehistory, Slavic’s village names, prints of the Cistercian’s Monk, medieval castles, Romanticism churches, and finally seaside constructions.
