Kayakomat Greifswald
Self-service rental station for kayaks and SUP boards in Greifswald on the Ryck.
Book online and enjoy the freedom to paddle wherever and whenever you want. Rent SUP boards and kayaks from us in the Hanseatic and university city of Greifswald, right on the beautiful Ryck River. Enjoy your day in Greifswald—a city steeped in history yet young and dynamic—by the sea. You’ll start in the middle of the Ryck and decide what you’re in the mood for—will you paddle through the bustling Canal City toward the Museum Harbor and then let the Ryck carry you along Greifswald’s natural shores? Or are you craving more of the sea and want to paddle toward Dänische Wiek to be inspired by the vastness of the bay in the Greifswald Bodden? As a beginner, try out both SUP and kayaking comfortably close to shore. As an experienced paddler, you can try a longer tour on a quiet day. With our KAYAKOMAT in Greifswald, located at Hafenstraße 56 right next to the HSG Canoe Club, you have convenient access to kayaks and SUPs at any time of day. Experience Greifswald and the Ryck River landscape from a whole new perspective!
Kayakomat Greifswald – Self-Service Paddling on the Ryck
Kayakomat Greifswald offers a hassle-free way to rent kayaks and SUP boards right on the Ryck. The fully automated self-service station lets you get out on the water without any fixed reservation times—just reserve online and start paddling. The starting point is right in the middle of the Ryck River in the Hanseatic and university city of Greifswald, one of the liveliest cities on the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Two Routes: Museum Harbor or Greifswald Bodden
From the Kayakomat, you can embark on two very different tours. If you want to experience the city, paddle toward the historic Museum Harbor through the bustling canal district. Those who prefer a more natural and open setting should follow the Ryck toward Dänische Wiek and immerse themselves in the open expanse of the Greifswald Bodden. The region around Greifswald thus offers water-based attractions as diverse as those in the nearby areas around Rügen, Usedom, or Fischland-Darß-Zingst.
SUP and kayaking for beginners and experienced paddlers
Whether it’s your first time on a SUP board or you’re an experienced kayaker on a longer day trip—thanks to its calm stretches of water, the Ryck is suitable for all skill levels. Beginners can try their first paddle strokes near the shore, while more experienced water sports enthusiasts can venture further out into the Bodden on calm days.
Other attractions in Greifswald
Caspar David Friedrich Center
● Greifswald
The Caspar-David-Friedrich-Zentrum, opened in 2004 in the historic Seifensiederei and expanded in 2011 to include the entire former residential and commercial building of the Friedrich family, commemorates the great painter and greatest son of the city of Greifswald. It is also a museum, documentation and research center. Caspar David Friedrich was born here on September 5, 1774. Visitors can see his father's old soap-making workshop, the family cabinet with the family tree, the Rügen and Eldena rooms with famous motifs from Friedrich's work and the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery. The tour offers comprehensive information on Friedrich's origins, career and creative style as well as on the history of the Friedrich family and their home and business premises, which is also the subject of a long-term research project by the Caspar David Friedrich Society. Changing exhibitions of contemporary art in the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery bear witness to the enduring fascination and impact of Friedrich's work and historical Romanticism. Thanks to its location in the heart of Greifswald's old town, the center is a particularly attractive destination for anyone who wants to follow in the artist's footsteps in his hometown. In the immediate vicinity is St. Nikolai Cathedral, where Caspar David Friedrich was baptized, and it is only a few minutes' walk to the Pomeranian State Museum with its original Friedrich paintings.

Church of St. Jacobi Greifswald
● Greifswald
St. Jacob's Church, dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen, was first mentioned by name in 1280. The brick church consists of a three-aisled hall and the somewhat narrower square west tower. Until a fire in 1955, the originally taller tower still had a half-timbered top, which was not restored when the tower roof was reconstructed.
