Right on the picturesque harbor promenade of Ribnitz-Damgarten stands an extraordinary work of art: "The Circus is Coming" – an impressive bronze sculpture by the renowned sculptor Jo Jastram. A gift to the city As a long-time patron of regional art, the Lions Club Ribnitz-Damgarten worked with great commitment to anchor this significant work in the city. Out of deep connection with the artist, the desire arose to create a large-scale sculpture that not only commemorates Jo Jastram's artistic work but also enriches the city's cultural landscape. A suitable location was quickly found: the sculpture group was given its permanent place in 2005.

These are old peat pits. Peat was once extracted here as fuel.

The Ribnitz Great Moor is a rain-fed bog, meaning it is fed solely by precipitation, which is "held" by the moss. The moss grows as a result, arches upwards, forms peat, and grows... if it is not drained. Here, too, peat was dug, and the bog was drained. Today, a worthwhile excursion trail leads through it, with information boards and benches.
