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.

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.
