The Ueckermünde Zoo is known far beyond the borders of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. The facility was founded in 1962 and has continued to develop since then. What began as a local aquarium with a few additional native animals is now impressive. The enclosures for the individual animal species are spacious, and you can also come into direct contact with many of the animals. There are many enclosures worth seeing on a total of 18 hectares, which were built according to the latest zoological recommendations. The following facilities are particularly notable for their size: >Otter enclosure with regular feeding shows >Haff aquarium with several large aquariums >Walk-in budgie aviary >Mandrill enclosure >Lion gorge >Walk-in monkey forest >Walk-in deer garden >Adventure farm with old tractors >Petting zoo >Wolf enclosure All paths are well signposted in three languages. There are plenty of places to sit and there are also restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the playgrounds. In addition to the animal enclosures, you can also learn about farming many decades ago at the zoo and on the adventure farm, and little adventurers can enjoy a ride on the old tractors. A replica of a fully functional Dutch windmill can also be seen in the zoo. The zoo is easy to get to and has plenty of free parking, including for buses. Opening times: The zoo is open 363 days a year from 10:00 a.m. The zoo is only closed on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. High season (April 1st to October 31st) daily 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Low season (November 1st to March 31st) daily from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. - weather permitting

Looks great...but the thorns are really sharp. You have to be really careful when taking close-ups.

The field stone block building dates from the second half of the 13th century. At the beginning of the 20th century the church suffered major damage from a fire. In 1918 the church received the square plastered tower top and an Art Nouveau painting of the interior.
