Poplar Avenue in Greifswald City Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In the middle of the trees on the city forest Greifswald runs this "mini highway" -like way, which also represents a dream for cyclists.

Bockwindmühle Eldena

Highlight • Monument

The Eldena log windmill welcomes travelers from Greifswald from afar. In 1998 the new building of one of the oldest windmills on the Baltic coast was inaugurated. It has only recently been given new wings and sails and is now shining with a red cloth. The wheels inside, which turn, driven solely by the wind, are impressive.
In the future there will also be regular guided tours.
A visit is always worthwhile and if you meet the miller while visiting, you can be lucky and listen to exciting stories about this beautiful mill and maybe even take a look inside.

Wieck Hand-operated Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bascule bridge leads over the Ryck River and connects the two Greifswald districts of Eldena and Wieck. It was inaugurated in 1887 and is now one of the oldest still existing and functioning wooden bascule bridges. You can rightly call it a landmark of Greifswald or Wieck. The residents of the Eldena side do not like to hear it at all when Wieck is always mentioned, although Eldena should also be mentioned.

Fun fact: several times a year there are motorists who ignore the bollard signs, want to drive quickly afterwards and wreck their car. The bollard is just very stable. :)

Cycle Path Along the B109

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Super new bike path, ends shortly before Hanshagen. If you don't want to take the federal road, you can take a fixed, unasphaled path and continue via Hanshagen towards Kemnitz / Neu Boltenhagen.

Greifswald Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The unique market square is located in the middle of the historic old town of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald around the baroque town hall. It consists of the main market square and the fish market, which is connected by the town hall. It was built around 1300 and is now the seat of the mayor.
The two oldest buildings on the market square are Gothic residential warehouses, which date from the 14th and 15th centuries.
At the fish market, only the fish fountain reminds of the use of this place at that time. The rectangular area of the market is a typical feature of urban planning from the Hanseatic era.
