The Goor-Muglitz Nature Reserve ( German : Naturschutzgebiet Goor-Muglitz ) is a nature reserve , covering an area of 157 hectares, in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . It lies on the island of Rügen on the northern coastline of the Bay of Greifswald . It was granted protected status on 12 September 1990 as part of the creation of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve . The conservation aim of the two-part nature reserve is, on the one hand, the preservation and development of a deciduous forest of old trees in the Goor forest and the preservation of Freetz Lowland ( Freetzer Niederung ) and, on the other hand, the protection of a steep wooded slope near Muglitz, which is interspersed with wild fruit trees. The areas are in conservation zone 2 (buffer zone) of the biosphere reserve. The rocky shallow areas of the bay are also a protected area.
