Heiligensee und Hütelmoor, Protected wetland in Rostock, Germany.

The conservation area spans 540 hectares of coastal marsh, featuring a large moor and the Heiligensee lake in the northern section of the territory.

The area received protected status in 1957 to preserve and restore the deteriorated coastal flooding moor within the Rostock Heath region.

The region forms an essential part of the Rostock Heath, which the Hanseatic City of Rostock acquired from Prince Borwin III in 1252.

Several walking paths allow visitors to observe various bird species, including lapwings, snipes, redshanks, and woodpeckers in their natural environment.

The elevation ranges from 2 meters below to 0 meters above sea level, creating specific conditions for marsh reed, bent grass, and sedge growth.
