Monchgut

Mönchgut straddles the narrow peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the Greifswalder Bodden in southeastern Rügen, a position that has long tied its settlements to fishing, sailing and coastal farming. At its southern end, the Zickersche Berge rise above salt meadows and bays, while Gager, Groß Zicker and Thiessow retain low, thatched-roof houses typical of the peninsula. Mönchgut takes its name from the medieval Cistercian monastery of Eldena, which once held this land. The area is part of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve, protecting shorelines, reed beds and shallow waters. Browse additional webcams from southeastern Rügen to extend your view of Mönchgut.
