Black Lake (Granitz)
The Black Lake on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen is part of the Sellin district and is located in the Granitz forest and nature reserve.
The lake covers an area of 23 hectares and its greatest depth is 15 meters. The height of the lake level above sea level is 54.2 meters above sea level. The nutrient-poor lake belongs to a very rare type of water body, the so-called kettle lake. Intermediate moorland and raised bogs form around the edges. In part, there is oscillating blanket vegetation. Cotton grass, peat moss, cranberry, feverfew and rosemary heather can be found here. The entire lake, the existing moors at the edge and a 100-metre-wide strip of forest surrounding the lake are designated as a core zone (total reserve) of the South-East Rügen Biosphere Reserve. However, the lake is accessible to hikers and cyclists via the hiking trail leading from Binz to Sellin. You can reach the lake via a small wooden footbridge.
Schwarzer See Granitz near Sellin - a rare kettle lake on Rügen
The Black Lake in Granitz is part of the Sellin district and is nestled in the Granitz forest and nature reserve on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen. With an area of 23 hectares and a maximum depth of 15 meters, it is an impressive body of water - and belongs to a particularly rare type of water: the so-called kettle lake. The lake level is 54.2 meters above sea level.
Moor vegetation and total reserve in the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve
The nutrient-poor lake is surrounded by an ecologically valuable moor edge area in which intermoor and raised bog formation takes place. In places, there is oscillating blanket vegetation with typical bog plants such as cotton grass, peat moss, cranberry, feverfew and rosemary heather. The entire lake, the adjacent moors and a 100-metre-wide strip of forest are designated as a core zone - a total reserve - of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve and are under special protection.
Hiking and cycling around the Black Lake in the Granitz
Despite its strict protection status, the Black Lake can be experienced by visitors. The area can be explored on foot or by bike via the hiking trail between Binz and Sellin. A small wooden footbridge makes it possible to walk directly out onto the lake and take in the tranquil natural scenery - a worthwhile detour for nature lovers who want to discover the Granitz on Rügen away from the beach promenade.
