Wieck Hand-operated Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bascule bridge leads over the Ryck River and connects the two Greifswald districts of Eldena and Wieck. It was inaugurated in 1887 and is now one of the oldest still existing and functioning wooden bascule bridges. You can rightly call it a landmark of Greifswald or Wieck. The residents of the Eldena side do not like to hear it at all when Wieck is always mentioned, although Eldena should also be mentioned.

Fun fact: several times a year there are motorists who ignore the bollard signs, want to drive quickly afterwards and wreck their car. The bollard is just very stable. :)

Towpath Along the Ryck

Highlight • Trail

The towpath on the Ryck is a nearly 3-kilometer-long walking and cycling path that leads from the Greifswald Museum Harbor to Wieck (or the other way around). Sections of the towpath were renovated in late spring 2024 and the path is therefore in very good condition. You can stroll here and watch the ships, or cycle and jog. Anglers are also very common here. A very beautiful path always directly along the Ryck! By the way, it is also very interesting how the towpath got its name!😉

View of the Ryck River Marina

Highlight • Viewpoint

The towpath has been recently improved and is perfect for cycling. It can get very busy on weekends, especially during school holidays.

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.

Old Greifswald Towpath

Highlight • Trail

If the chain is freshly oiled, I would avoid this beautiful route. The red dust settles on everything that sticks when it is very dry.

Greifswald Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The unique market square is located in the middle of the historic old town of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald around the baroque town hall. It consists of the main market square and the fish market, which is connected by the town hall. It was built around 1300 and is now the seat of the mayor.
The two oldest buildings on the market square are Gothic residential warehouses, which date from the 14th and 15th centuries.
At the fish market, only the fish fountain reminds of the use of this place at that time. The rectangular area of the market is a typical feature of urban planning from the Hanseatic era.
