Greifswald

The Hanseatic and university town lies on the Greifswalder Bodden, on the banks of the River Ryck. The Greifswald Yacht Centre near the old town and opposite the Greifswald museum harbour, has turned out to be a hotspot for charter companies. The Hanse yachts are built next door and both motor and sailing boats in all sizes are offered by various charter companies and agencies (see attached list). Greifswald is ideal for sailing trips to Rügen, Bornholm or the Polish Baltic Sea coast. In order to reach the Greifswald Bodden, the wooden lifting bridge, which is still manually operated, has to be passed in Wieck, a district of Greifswald.
