The Riedensee originated in the ice age and is now a beach lake integrated into the coast. The lake was separated from the Baltic Sea by a beach wall.

Hiking

The Riedensee, a nature reserve on the Baltic Sea, is one of the last beach lakes in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that still exist in their original state. Only narrow dunes separate it from the Baltic Sea. Through a breach, the salt water of the Baltic Sea mixes with its fresh water, which feeds it via streams that rise in the cooling.

Hiking

The nature reserve is delimited by a wire fence along which a somewhat "firmer" path goes.
