Beautiful small village church that has something mystical about it from one side due to the greenery, I find.

As one of the three city ponds in Stralsund, the Knieperteich also served as part of the city's fortifications. The ponds were artificially expanded in the 13th century, giving the old town an island location that was easier to defend. Today, we can stroll, hike, and cycle wonderfully here in the beautiful park. Rowing boats are also allowed in the northern part. The view across the water is simply picturesque all year round from many spots.

At the cemetery entrance, a sign encouraging visitors to visit said "Church open." However, someone had locked the building. A woman from the village confirmed that it was very beautiful. So we filled up on plenty of drinking water, enjoyed the 800-year-old linden tree, as well as a height measuring point on the church tower, which has survived the times unscathed (it has something written on it saying "German Empire"). We enjoyed the peace, the bench and the blackberries.

One of the Stalsund ponds that surround the old town and is a great place to take a walk.

It is very interesting to see and read on an information board that this cormorant colony consists of over 3,000 breeding pairs.
