The Libben is a 20 km² bay between the islands of Hiddensee and Rügen off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

Your entrance is between the Dornbusch von Hiddensee (between Toter Kerl and Enddorn ) and the peninsula Wittow von Rügen at the level of the village of Dranske . It is bounded to the west by the Bessin peninsula and to the east and south-east by the Bug peninsula . To the south there is a connection to Vitter Bodden via the Plathe sea section . As a result, the bay was important as a gateway for even larger ships to travel from the open Baltic Sea to Stralsund . By increasing silting of the fairway (as Libbenrinne known) this significance was lost at the beginning of the 1920s, the pilot station Wittower post house on the bow closed on April 1, 1921st

The bay is now a fishing sanctuary in which fishing is prohibited all year round. Driving in the bay is restricted by legal norms .
