The essential part of the nature reserve is the Döpe, a meso-eutrophic flat lake, which is designed as a clear water lake. The lake is surrounded by wide belts of siltation, which is particularly true for the west and north banks. The silting vegetation consists mainly of pondweed stocks, floating leaf vegetation and the reed belt. In addition to the broken alder populations, meadows on lime-rich fen as well as forest and shrubbery populations are of floristic and vegetational interest. The old Slavic castle complex Dobin on the isthmus between the Schweriner See and the Döpe is covered by bushes dominated by wild fruit and hawthorn species. From a zoological point of view, the Döpe is an important breeding, feeding and resting biotope for water and meadow bird species.

Here from the northern tip you have great views of the Schwerin outer lake.

The cycle path around the northern tip of the lake is a sandy track at this point and up to the fish snack bar in Bad Kleinen. It's difficult to ride even in dry weather and should be avoided during or after rain, unless you're on a mountain bike...
