The nature reserve north shore Langhagensee and Kleiner Langhagensee is a 35 hectare nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the north of the Langhagensee . The closest village is Wooster Teerofen one kilometer south. The legal determination took place on September 24, 1990.

The state of the area is assessed as good.

The protected area is located in the Nossentiner-Schwinzer Heide nature park and is part of an FFH and bird protection area under EU law .

A signposted circular hiking trail allows you to enter the area.

history

A post-glacial inland dune stretches around the protected area, which stretches around the Langhagensee in a horseshoe shape. A rampart on the east bank of the Langhagensee indicates that the area was settled in the Slav period. The village to the east of Wooster Teerofen was founded in 1705 and goes back to a tar smelling and a tiednery . On Wiebeking's map from 1786, the area can be recognized as an unforested moorland. The bog areas were used as pasture until the 20th century. The forest area was owned by the Dobbertin Monastery until 1918 . In the 1960s, today's protected area was part of the military restricted area of the Schwinzer Heide. The lake was used for a short time to cross the water with tanks. Immediately to the north is the restricted military area, which is still in use today.
