Rostock Heath

Rostock Heath (German: Rostocker Heide) is a wood and heathland region northeast of the German city of Rostock. It has a total area of about 6000 hectares and, since 1252, has been owned by the Hanseatic city of Rostock. As a result of its ownership of the Rostock Heath, Rostock is today one of the five largest communal woodland owners in Germany.

In the district of Rostock is the sub-district (Amt) of Rostocker Heide with its head office in the village of Gelbensande.
