Location Zicker See

The Zicker Lake (also Zicker Lake ) is a bay in eastern rügischen Bodden that deep into the peninsula Mönchgut , the south-eastern tip of Rügen , cuts, while the small peninsula Zicker from the parent peninsula monk to a isthmus of less than 500 meters cuts off.

The bay is about one kilometer long, 1.6 kilometers wide and opens to the west to the Rügischer Bodden, the northern part of the Greifswald Bodden . The passage to the Greifswalder Bodden is only 250 meters wide and has to be kept free for fishing boats and pleasure boats due to the constant flushing of sand by dredging the approx. 30 meter wide fairway. Otherwise the Kirkenort and Lüttzicker Urt sand hooks would form a spit . In the north, the Zicker See is bordered by the Großer Zicker with the up to 66 m high Zicker Mountains , in the southwest by the almost circular Kleiner Zicker with the Lüttzicker Urt and in the south by the southeastern tip of Rügen. In the east, the Zicker See between Lobbe and Thiessow approaches the open Baltic Sea up to 500 meters .

At the beginning of the 19th century the Swedes had plans to build a fortified naval port with Gustavia on Lake Zicker.

The villages of Groß Zicker and Klein Zicker are located on Lake Zicker . In Groß Zicker, Klein Zicker and near Thiessow there are three small harbors protected by moles , which are used by fishing and sport boats. The largest facility is the port of Thiessow in the southeast.

The bay is part of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve and the Mönchgut nature reserve .
