Nice ferryman, always up for a chat. The crossing on the motor-driven ferry takes maybe just a minute, but there's no alternative for pedestrians anywhere.

Reminiscent of a Hundertwasser house: Thom Wilcke is the founder of "Mönchgut Keramik." He sells—of course—ceramic tableware, striking stone fish figurines, and glass installations, which can also be found throughout the village. His wife, Tabea, designs porcelain jewelry. The home of the family of nine is a real eye-catcher in the village.

The nature reserve, with its hilly landscape, offers magnificent views over the Greifswalder Bodden, the Mönchgut region, and the Baltic Sea. The predominantly nutrient-poor grassland provides space for numerous protected and rare plant species. I'd never heard of "downy meadow oat" before, but the sea thrift is also among them. Those seeking tranquility in nature will find it here. And those looking to move their full stomachs after a generous slice of cake at the "Moccavino" will also find it here.

I'll try it out on my next visit. I was attracted to the interesting exterior, but I had already taken a break.

The old school is located here. If you're lucky, you'll get in. Unfortunately, we weren't :(
