Mönchgut, Nature reserve in Vorpommern-Rügen, Germany.
Description
Mönchgut is a nature reserve along the Baltic coast with steep cliffs, pine forests, and open meadows. The area consists of several separate sections including coastal waters and spreads across the villages of Sellin, Göhren, and Baabe.
History
The region takes its name from a monastery that once owned the land here. In 1990 it gained official protection as a nature reserve within the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve.
Culture
Museums in the villages display fishing traditions and the clothing styles that locals wore for generations. Walking through these collections gives visitors a window into how people here lived and worked.
Practical
Multiple trails connect the villages and offer routes for different fitness levels. Good footwear is important, especially on cliff paths where the ground can be uneven and muddy.
