Sehlen on Rügen: Landscape, Islands and History

Sehlen is located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The island of Rügen lies approximately in the immediate vicinity of Sehlen. In the central Muttland, a glacial moraine landscape characterizes the area; larger forest areas adjoin it to the north. This brings together the character of an island, open landscapes and wooded areas within a compact geographical setting. The locality is therefore determined neither exclusively by forest nor exclusively by open landscape; both landscape elements appear in this geographical context and complement the island connection with different natural features. The northern forest areas and the central Muttland also belong to the same landscape framework.
