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.

The Eldena post mill is one of the oldest windmills along the Baltic coast and was first mentioned in documents in 1533. After centuries of use, commercial use was discontinued in 1933.
