The Große Wostevitzer Teich or also the Große Wostevitzer See is located on the Jasmund peninsula of the island of Rügen about seven kilometers southwest of Sassnitz and about two kilometers from the Baltic coast. The lake and the Kleiner Wostevitz pond are located in a swampy depression south of the Mukran ferry station . It is located entirely in the urban area of Sassnitz. The lake is 1.7 kilometers long and up to 690 meters wide. Together with the small Wostevitz pond and its surroundings, it forms the 322 hectare nature reserve Wostevitz ponds . The heights around the lake reach up to 33 meters with the Galgenberg in the south. The Stralsund – Sassnitz railway and the 96 federal highway run near the west bank .
The Wostevitz ponds are located in a ground moraine landscape that was formed during the recent ice advance of the Vistula Ice Age . It is assumed that the lakes were formed in a residual dead ice field . The very shallow and polytrophic lakes, which drain into the Baltic Sea via the Saiser Bach, were never directly connected to the sea as a bay. According to the Swedish matriculation card from 1695, today's protected area was largely free of forests. Until the 20th century, the banks were full of broken wood covered and spread silting reedbeds from. The latter have been destroyed by the discharge of liquid manure since the 1970s, and by the end of the 1980s the visibility depth in the lakes was only 10 to 20 centimeters. The fishery was then given up.
