March 29, 2024,Nachgestaltung der Tour von Parkplatz Museumshafen Nord nach Kloster Eldena

This tour is a replica, but was done by us. It is actually the “classic” of the hikes in HGW. Definitely belongs in the collection.
Unfortunately I can no longer find the GPX file. At least a few original pictures from the tour

December 12, 2025,🎄 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 ~ 𝐓ü𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝟏𝟐 🎄

Today I found myself in Greifswald, combining business with pleasure, as I often do. My starting point was the main train station, from where I headed straight for the city center. I passed the fish market and arrived at the market square, where the Christmas market was once again bravely attempting to combat the North German winter with its strings …

December 14, 2024,Via Baltica - Etappe 6: Greifswald mit 🎅-Markt nach Klosterruine Eldena

On this grey December day, I take the RE 3 from Berlin to Greifswald. It's only a few steps from the train station to Greifswald's old town. At the beginning, I'm greeted by a large poster for the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich, his birthplace. Little Jacob, tall Nicholas and fat Marie, that's what the people of Greifswald lovingly …

I've rowed the Ryck many times but never walked the length of it. I made up for this today and chose an interesting route through Greifswald for the way back.

August 9, 2021,Greifswald Museumshafen zur Windmühle, zum Kloster Eldena, zur Holzbrücke nach Wieck und das mehrfach 🤭

... don't be surprised ... I had met friends and therefore repeated the monastery tour and the wooden bridge. Otherwise the route would be a bit shorter.

September 1, 2021,Von Steinbeckervorstadt nach Wieck

A short tour from the port in Greifswald along the Ryck to the city bridge in Wieck. A very nice path that is also part of the pilgrim path. In Greifswald's museum harbor, we passed beautiful, partly historic ships. When you are out of the port area, you take the towpath towards Wieck. The area around the drawbridge is particularly …

December 15, 2025,15.12.2025 🌞 Um den Ryck 🌊

What amazing weather today! I simply had to get outside, so I quickly planned a rough route and off I went.

The starting and finishing point was the bus stop 🅿️ on Ladebower Chaussee at the Museum Harbor ⛵ (day ticket €2.50 👍).
