Great importance is placed here on making complex ecological connections understandable and on promoting a deep responsibility for nature among its visitors. The center's mission statement is “Let nature be nature,” which conveys a respectful attitude toward the environment.

The center offers a variety of offerings: from experiential exhibitions to guided tours to media education formats. The mission aims to preserve the UNESCO world natural heritage of ancient beech forests and enable personal nature experiences. Visitors of all ages are welcome here to experience their aha moments and develop a better understanding of nature. Königsstuhl explains that the programs are scientifically sound and emotionally appealing.

Sustainability on Rügen

The biosphere reserve stands for the harmonious coexistence of nature and culture and pursues the goal of preserving the landscape in the long term and developing it sustainably. This is not only a responsibility for today, but also a commitment to future generations. Rügen has a lot to offer – both for nature lovers and interested quiz participants!
