Insel Koos, Kooser See und Wampener Riff

The 1,560-hectare protected area includes Koos Island, Kooser Lake, and Wampener Reef, featuring coastal wetlands and shallow water zones in the southern Greifswald Bay.

During the 1930s, Koos Island served as a practice target area for fighter-bombers, with vegetation-covered impact craters still visible across the landscape.

The centuries-long grazing practices on Kooser meadows and Koos Island continue with traditional methods of pasture management, hay meadows, and paddocks.

Vehicle access to Koos Island requires authorization, while hiking trails in the Karrendorfer meadows lead to the western part of the protected area.

Between the island and mainland, a narrow water channel called Beek connects the Kooser Bay to Kooser Lake, creating a distinct ecological corridor.
