The Kösterbeck Nature Reserve (NSG) is located just a few kilometers southeast of Rostock. St. Mary's Church in Rostock has a tower approximately 86 meters high and is easily recognizable as a landmark from a distance of approximately 7.2 km from the NSG, at approximately 60 meters above sea level.

A cool opportunity for tobogganing when there is enough snow. The contour line is about 60 m above sea level.

This adventurous path meanders along the edge of the Kösterbeck forest. You always have a nice wide view over the fields. Even if the path is narrow in parts, it is easy to drive. If you are not quite so practiced, you can also push a piece.

The Kösterbecker See belongs to the nature reserve of the same name in Rostock Switzerland. A quiet spot where you can linger for a while.

The small path across the meadow is lined with broom. The scenery is perfect for taking photos.

The small, low wooden bridge helps you to reach the other bank quickly with dry feet.
