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...

The fountain is always a good idea to take a few minutes to enjoy the view 🙏

This lovely bathing spot offers everything you could wish for. It's not crowded, being small and easy to navigate. Furthermore, the lack of any restaurants or cafes in the immediate vicinity makes it relatively quiet and peaceful. It's also easily accessible via the cycle path. The bathing area is partially screened from view by vegetation along the cycle path. There's a nice little sandy beach at the entry point.

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.

As one of the three city ponds in Stralsund, the Knieperteich also served as part of the city's fortifications. The ponds were artificially expanded in the 13th century, giving the old town an island location that was easier to defend. Today, we can stroll, hike, and cycle wonderfully here in the beautiful park. Rowing boats are also allowed in the northern part. The view across the water is simply picturesque all year round from many spots.
