Stoltera, Nature reserve along Baltic Sea coast in Rostock, Germany

The protected area extends over 83 hectares with steep cliffs reaching 20 meters high, featuring coastal forests that stretch to the cliff edges.

The Stoltera nature reserve received official protection status in 1939, preserving a section of active steep coast, sandy areas, and coastal forests.

The Geinitzstein memorial stone at the cliff base commemorates Eugen Geinitz, the first director of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Geological Survey Institute.

Visitors access the area through a three-kilometer hiking path from Warnemünde, leading to multiple Baltic Sea viewpoints and natural beaches.

The Baltic Sea erodes the cliff composed of glacial till at a rate of 35 centimeters per year, continuously reshaping the coastal landscape.
