The remains of the once important monastery are embedded in a park with old trees, including 180-year-old oaks. The main accent of the ruins is the imposing west façade of the former monastery church with the high pointed arch window opening. Caspar David Friedrich painted many pictures of the ruins and thereby sparked a new appreciation, which enabled the complex to be preserved and secured in 1830.

The historic wooden bascule bridge, which connects the two districts of Wieck and Eldena, which are separated by the Ryck, and regulates the passage into the museum harbor, is still operated by hand today with its more than 13-meter-long flaps.

The Eldena monastery ruins were redesigned for Caspar David Friedrich's 250th birthday. Several steles were erected to provide information about the monastery's eventful history. Several benches and new plantings now make the visit even more pleasant. The monastery ruins fascinated Caspar David Friedrich and inspired him to create numerous paintings and sketches. Anyone who enters the complex understands this: an atmospheric, romantic atmosphere emanates from the monastery ruins. An impressive photo opportunity, especially at dusk or in the fog. Alongside the cathedral, the town hall square and the Wieck bascule bridge, it is one of Greifswald's landmarks!

Very pleasant to drive.

Super beautiful cycle path between Greifswald and Wieck along the Ryck.

The ruins of the Eldena Monastery are definitely worth a visit! On display boards you can find out interesting facts about the monastery and the Cistercians.

The name Hilda for the river now called Ryck was first documented in 1241 (“Hildam fluvium”) and therefore 42 years later than the documentary evidence for the corresponding name of the monastery. Nevertheless, historians assume that the monastery was named after the river and not the other way around. The name Eldena for the monastery was first documented in 1347. The town of Eldena, which has been part of Greifswald since 1939 and where the monastery ruins are located, is also named after this. In addition to the founding name Hilda and the final name Eldena, other names are attested: The name of the monastery is given in a document from 1204 as “Hilda or Ilda”; Hylda (1220) and later also Eldenow (1621) are also recorded.
