Raccoon Signpost for Tierpark Tropics

Highlight • Monument

A little “raccoon eye-catcher” on the side of the path, with a reference to the zoo. Not badly made, carved from wood.

Ryck Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here the towpath leads along the Ryck. The towpath on the Ryck is a nearly 3-kilometer-long walking and cycling path that leads from the Greifswald Museum Harbor to Wieck (or the other way around). Sections of the towpath were renovated in late spring 2024 and the path is therefore in very good condition. You can stroll here and watch the ships, or cycle and jog. Anglers are also very common here. A very beautiful path always directly along the Ryck! By the way, it is also very interesting how the towpath got its name!😉

Towpath along the Ryck

Highlight • Trail

If it's been dry for a long time, it gets extremely dusty there.
You should then reconsider driving there.

Museum Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Difficult to navigate through here with the construction site - but where there's a will, there's a way ;)

Fangenturm (Prison Tower), Greifswald

Highlight • Historical Site

The 13.5 meter high tower was built around 1270/80 and was once part of the city wall. It is located on the edge of downtown Greifswald at the museum harbor.
At first it was referred to as the prisoner tower, later as the powder tower. Between 1775 and 1826 it was extensively rebuilt by the university and served as an observatory. After that time it was only used as a warehouse.
In the history of this historic tower there have been bitter battles over its possession and use. After it threatened to be demolished, renovation began in the early 1990s.
The harbor master of the museum harbor is now based in the tower.

Last faster run before the Easter run. With a fantastic panorama and weather. Only the headwind 💨 was a little mean. Luckily that was on the way there 😃
