The Lebbin is a peninsula belonging to the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen . It is part of the motherland , with which it is connected in the southeast by a two-kilometer-wide isthmus . The Lebbin is over eight kilometers long and up to three kilometers wide. The villages of Neuenkirchen, Breetz, Grubnow, Laase, Lebbin, Moor, Moritzhagen, Neuendorf, Reetz, Vieregge and Zessin are located on the peninsula, and they all belong to the Neuenkirchen community .
In the north, west and east the Lebbin borders on the Great Jasmunder Bodden , these are the Neuendorfer Wiek and the Breetzer Bodden in the west, the Breeger Bodden in the north and the Lebbiner Bodden in the east.

The highest elevation of this end moraine range is the high Hilgor ( 43.8 m above sea level ) with the Grümbke tower near Grubnow.
