The Knieperteich is 24.8 hectares in size and up to two meters deep. On the northern Knieperteich, tourist use with rowing boats is permitted. A fountain is installed in the southern Knieperteich. The Küterdamm divides the Knieperteich and connects the city areas Altstadt (at Kütertor) and Tribseer. The "White Bridges", two wooden bridges, allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross. An island called Werder is located in the northern Knieperteich. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stralsunder_Stadtteiche

The Hanseatic city of Stralsund, with its many facets and maritime flair, is worth a visit at any time of the year. A lovely city.

Here, environmental protection becomes "tangible", great that DEGES made this possible as compensation for the "new" Rügen Bridge. Definitely take binoculars with you...

A beautiful park away from the hustle and bustle of the harbor.

A very relaxing walk into the city center. Magnificent views of the lakes and numerous waterfowl. Plenty of benches invite you to linger. A very nice spot.

Wonderful nature to relax and enjoy.

The Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is a landscaped area in the south of the island of Rügen near Poseritz. After the construction of the new Rügen Bridge over the Strelasund between Stralsund and Altefähr, the German Unity Highway Planning and Construction Company (Deges) undertook to re-wet the Wiek as a compensatory measure to make amends for environmental damage. Before it was drained, the Wiek was last recorded as a body of water on a Prussian survey map from 1830. It had open access to the Puddeminer Wiek and covered an area of 32 hectares. With the construction of a dike around the middle of the 20th century, the breach was closed and the area was drained using a pumping station. Since then, the reclaimed area, which was about two meters below the water level of the Greifswald Bodden, was used for agriculture until 1990. Deges planned to re-wet the lake in 2012. In 2010, a flood structure was built on the neighboring Puddeminer Wiek. Two automatically controlled flood gates with a total width of 12 meters were installed to regulate the water exchange, as well as two scooping and pumping stations. The area was flooded from August 19, 2011. The Mellnitz-Üselitzer Wiek is two meters deep at its deepest point after flooding and covers an area of 124 hectares; the entire renaturation area measures 240 hectares. The area has now developed into a nationally important migration and resting area for water and wading birds as well as cranes. Thousands of ducks such as wigeons, mallards and tufted ducks as well as grey geese rest here. At low water, wading bird species such as lapwings and golden plovers rest in the Wiek. A large cormorant colony has established itself in the southwestern part of the Wiek. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellnitz-%C3%9Cselitzer_Wiek

The White Bridges form a short and idyllic connection between the Tribseer suburb and the old town of Stralsund. The two white bridges on the artificially created Küterdamm are a popular attraction. They span the Knieperteich, which is more of a lake, on which you can take short tours with pedal boats or rowing boats. The path over the Knieperteich used to be one of several trade routes and still leads through the Kniepertor into the old town. As part of the former urban fortifications, the White Bridges are now a small local recreation area and ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of tourists. From here, the Knieperteich offers a very special photo opportunity for St. Mary's Church. Especially at sunset, when the old town is reflected in the still water, you can take a wonderful holiday photo. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-weisse-bruecken
