After a long period of use lasting into the 1930s, the mill collapsed in 1972 due to its age. However, thanks to the tireless work of the Eldenaer Mühle e.V. support association, it was faithfully restored to its original condition. Today, the mill is a living monument to the old milling tradition. Visitors can look forward to an exciting journey into the past: they can experience the impressive mechanics and historical construction of the mill up close and learn how the milling trade was practiced back then. Regular guided tours offer interesting insights into how the mill works, and the highlight for many guests is the opportunity to try their hand at grinding grain. In addition to its technical features, the mill offers an idyllic setting in the immediate vicinity of the fishing village of Wieck and the Eldena monastery ruins, making it a popular destination for culture lovers and inviting visitors to linger thanks to the nearby restaurants along the Ryck.

Caspar-David-Friedrich-View
● Greifswald
To this day, the view that Caspar David Friedrich captured in "Meadows near Greifswald" around 1820 remains almost unchanged. The painting with the silhouette of the Hanseatic city behind lush green pastures hangs in the Hamburg Kunsthalle - but the original scene as Caspar David Friedrich saw it can be recreated here in the middle of nature. Although now hidden due to the buildings and vegetation, it is still clearly visible through the church towers of St. Nikolai, St. Jakobi and St. Marien - Caspar David Friedrich's view as he made the sketch for "Meadows near Greifswald". He viewed the silhouette of the Hanseatic city from a north-westerly direction, roughly where the New Cemetery is located today. The resulting painting is world-famous today and is exhibited in the Hamburger Kunsthalle. The lush green meadows outside the city gates, which still serve as pastures, have not changed. The Ryck makes its way through the greenery. Here you can not only enjoy the peace and quiet and the view, but also go for a walk or a short hike. The best way to experience the life and work of the Romantic painter is on the Caspar David Friedrich picture trail in and around his native town of Greifswald.

Permanent exhibition about the lyricist Karl Gottlieb Lappe
● Wusterhusen
Karl Gottlieb Lappe - an almost forgotten poet (1773-1843). A permanent exhibition in Wusterhusen, near the seaside resort of Lubmin, is located in the vicarage of St. John's Church in Wusterhusen. The life and work of the poet Karl Lappe is documented here, and readings bring the poet's works closer. Karl Gottlieb Lappe was born on April 23, 1773 in Wusterhusen as the son of the vicar. In preparation for his studies, he attended the town school in Wolgast, whose principal was none other than Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten (1758-1818). Kosegarten, teacher, pastor, history professor and poet, recognized and encouraged the talents of his pupils, who included Karl Gottlieb Lappe and Philipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), the important Romantic painter. At Greifswald University, where Lappe studied theology, philology and philosophy, he became friends with Ernst Moritz Arndt (1769-1860), a friendship that lasted beyond his student years. In 1798, Lappe succeeded Ernst Moritz Arndt as tutor to Kosegarten in Altenkirchen on the island of Rügen. From 1801 to 1817, Lappe was a teacher at Stralsund grammar school. For health reasons, he finally retired to the idyllic village of Pütte near Stralsund. Lappe died in Stralsund on October 28. Opening hours: daily 10:00 to 18:00 By prior appointment with guided tour by arrangement Rev. K. Krüger: 038354 22234 Route of North German Romanticism: Wusterhusen vicarage - Romantic poetry Lappe's extensive oeuvre reflects everyday and political events as well as his deep love for his Pomeranian homeland. In the Karl Lappe exhibition in the vicarage, a map shows which places he visited and also described in his poems. Some of his poems were set to music by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1828), Franz Schubert (1797-1828) and Robert Schumann (1810-1856).
St. Nicholas Cathedral, Greifswald
● Greifswald
Greifswald Cathedral is one of the most beautiful religious buildings in northern Germany. With its 100-meter-high tower, it towers over the Hanseatic city of Greifswald. From the tower gallery, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view all the way to the island of Rügen. The slender Baroque onion dome with two lanterns replaced the Gothic spire in 1652. The University of Greifswald was founded in St. Nikolai in 1456. Today, it is, among other things, the venue for the Greifswald Bach Week. Protestant Cathedral, first mentioned in a document in 1280, a nine-and-a-half-bay-long brick basilica with a three-sided choir, a chapel annex, and a sacristy on the north side, built in the first half of the 15th century incorporating the predecessor building, a five-bay, three-nave brick hall church; expanded around 1400 to include a four-and-a-half-bay choir and a surrounding ring of chapels. The painter Caspar David Friedrich made the church in his hometown world-famous. It was not until the seat of the bishop of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church was moved from Stettin to Greifswald in 1947 that the parish church became a cathedral. Particularly striking is the tower, which tapers upward, featuring an onion dome and four corner towers. The Greifswald Bach Weeks are held annually in the light-filled basilica.

Catch tower Greifswald
● Greifswald
This building was part of the medieval fortifications that once surrounded Greifswald. The Fangenturm was first mentioned in the town register in 1329 as "Vangentorm". After the fortifications in the area of the Schützenwall were levelled in the 18th century and the Hansering was built in the 1970s, the 13.50-metre-high tower was preserved as a rudiment. Later, when the building no longer met the requirements as a powder tower, the city leased it to the university in 1775, which used the tower as an observatory for a while due to its height and location on the edge of the city. The battlements were not added until the middle of the 19th century, when the Fangenturm was even used as a public toilet. After extensive conservation and renovation work in the 1990s, the harbour master of the museum harbour was able to move into his office on the first floor. He has organizational responsibility for the harbour with over 50 berths, which are reserved exclusively for seaworthy traditional ships.
Fishing port Freest
● Freest
The fishing village of Freest is located directly at the mouth of the Peene to the Greifswald Bodden and is home to the largest fishing port in MV. Every 5th fish in MV is caught here, mostly herring, flounder and cod. The oldest smokehouse in Western Pomerania is also located near the harbor. From May to October, guests can take the ferry to Peenemünde on the island of Usedom every hour. Bicycles can also be taken on board. The harbor was renovated with EU funds between 1995 and 2005. 26 fishermen's huts were erected on the quayside. A functional building with sanitary facilities was part of the overall project. It also houses a branch office of the pilots and the German Maritime Search and Rescue Association. Adjacent are restaurants serving fish, ice cream and coffee and cake. Converted fishing boats take visitors out on the Bodden and to the island of Ruden. A bicycle and pedestrian ferry takes visitors to the island of Usedom and back. The Historical-Technical Museum in Peenemünde is well worth a visit. The Freest fishing festival takes place every year in August. You can buy fresh fish directly from the fisherman in the early morning or enjoy it on site in one of the restaurants, which offer both traditional and more unusual fish specialties. You can also gain an insight into typical regional crafts by visiting the Freest boatyard and the local museum. Freest fishing carpets The Freest fishermen's rugs, also known as "Persians of the Baltic", are a traditional handicraft product from Pomerania that was woven by women and children in fishing villages as an additional source of income, particularly during the global economic crisis of the 1920s. Each rug is unique and consists of thousands of hand-knotted knots. Route of North German Romanticism: Freet fishing village - Romantic travel An old, unpaved country road connected the towns of Wolgast, Katzow, Boltenhagen, Rappenhagen and Kemnitz. In bad weather or in winter, this road was difficult to travel. Runge therefore occasionally made his way to Ludwigsburg or Greifswald on foot. Like Caspar David Friedrich, he also passed through the fishing village of Freest, presumably during his honeymoon. Fishing played a major role here: salt huts, smokehouses and fishing nets still characterize this place today.
