Wonderful nature to relax and enjoy.

Fantastic landscape right at the beginning of the island.

It was really nice to walk through

The Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is a landscaped area in the south of the island of Rügen near Poseritz. After the construction of the new Rügen Bridge over the Strelasund between Stralsund and Altefähr, the German Unity Highway Planning and Construction Company (Deges) undertook to re-wet the Wiek as a compensatory measure to make amends for environmental damage. Before it was drained, the Wiek was last recorded as a body of water on a Prussian survey map from 1830. It had open access to the Puddeminer Wiek and covered an area of 32 hectares. With the construction of a dike around the middle of the 20th century, the breach was closed and the area was drained using a pumping station. Since then, the reclaimed area, which was about two meters below the water level of the Greifswald Bodden, was used for agriculture until 1990. Deges planned to re-wet the lake in 2012. In 2010, a flood structure was built on the neighboring Puddeminer Wiek. Two automatically controlled flood gates with a total width of 12 meters were installed to regulate the water exchange, as well as two scooping and pumping stations. The area was flooded from August 19, 2011. The Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is two meters deep at its deepest point after flooding and covers an area of 124 hectares; the entire renaturation area measures 240 hectares. The area has now developed into a nationally important migration and resting area for water and wading birds as well as cranes. Thousands of ducks such as wigeons, mallards and tufted ducks as well as grey geese rest here. At low water, wading bird species such as lapwings and golden plovers rest in the Wiek. A large cormorant colony has established itself in the southwestern part of the Wiek. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellnitz-%C3%9Cselitzer_Wiek

It is very interesting to see and read on an information board that this cormorant colony consists of over 3,000 breeding pairs.

Cormorant feeding

The Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is a landscaped area in the south of the island of Rügen near Poseritz. Following the construction of the new Rügen Bridge over the Strelasund between Stralsund and Altefähr, the German Unity Highway Planning and Construction Company (Deutsche Einheit Fernstraßenplanungs- und -baugesellschaft mbH) undertook to rewett the Wiek as a compensatory measure to compensate for environmental damage. The newly created shallow sea bay is intended to serve as a resting and feeding area for migratory and resting birds. The then Üselitzer Wiek was last recorded as a body of water on a Prussian survey map dating from 1830. It had open access to the Puddeminer Wiek and covered an area of 32 hectares. With the construction of a dike around the middle of the 20th century, the breach was closed, and the area was drained using a pumping station. Since then, the reclaimed area, which lies approximately two meters below the water level of the Greifswalder Boddenslag, was used for agriculture until 1990. In 2010, a flood control structure was built at the neighboring Puddeminer Wiek. Two automatically controlled flood gates, each 12 meters wide, were installed to regulate water exchange, along with two scooping and pumping stations. The area was flooded starting August 19, 2011. After the flooding, the Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is two meters deep at its deepest point and covers an area of 124 hectares; the entire renaturation area measures 240 hectares. It's great that you can now enjoy relaxing hikes and peace here in beautiful nature. https://www.meerferien.net/sued-ruegen/geheimtipp-ruegen/

The varied hike around the Devin peninsula offers many beautiful views. The meadows in the NSG are reserved for the sheep and the beaches for the birds.
