Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

The Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve spans 235 square kilometers, featuring sandy beaches, steep cliffs, lagoons, beech forests, and coastal meadows along the Baltic Sea.

The reserve, established in 1990 through the German Democratic Republic's national park program, contains megalithic tombs from the New Stone Age and Bronze Age burial mounds.

Medieval churches and seaside resort buildings reflect the architectural evolution of human settlements across different periods within the protected landscape.

Seven nature reserves within the biosphere offer designated paths for exploring diverse ecosystems, including the restricted island of Vilm through guided tours.

The reserve serves as a critical sanctuary for migratory birds and contains underwater meadows of seagrass that function as spawning grounds for Baltic Sea herring.
