アム・ザルツハーフの湖・トップ18

At Riedensee, several viewing platforms invite you to experience the impressive natural beauty of the Baltic Sea coast up close. From here, you have a sweeping view of the lake, the dune landscape, and the sea. Nature lovers and photographers especially appreciate the platforms, as they offer ideal observation points for migratory birds and other animal species. Even at sunrise or sunset, a fascinating panorama unfolds from there, impressively highlighting the tranquil beauty of the nature reserve surrounding Riedensee.

Yes interesting there and beautiful

Riedensee, a nature reserve on the Baltic Sea, is one of the last beach lakes in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that still exists in its original state. Only narrow dunes separate it from the Baltic Sea. A breach allows the salt water of the Baltic Sea to mix with its fresh water, which it is fed by streams that originate in the Kühlung. When there is a storm from the northwest and especially the northeast, it and some of the neighboring pastures and meadows are flooded with Baltic Sea water. The mixture of fresh and salt water, also known as brackish water, determines the fauna and flora of the unique nature reserve, which is partially fenced off for protection. For nature-loving hikers, a visit to this area is a journey of discovery.

The Salzhaff is a shallow body of water and dries out large areas at low tide. The banks consist of mud, sandy beaches and wet meadows and offer a perfect habitat for many birds.

Horses also go swimming here sometimes.

wonderful views over the lagoon to Rerik and the Wustrow peninsula

The whole place is very beautiful: the roaring sea and the Rieden biotope meet here. From the platform you have a really nice view of the lake

If you take the cycle path towards Rerik, you turn off to the Salzhaff at the level of the parking spaces and from there you have a beautiful view over the Salzhaff to Rerik. Here you can drive directly along the Salzhaff all the way to Rerik.
