Along the road you have to accept, but the landscape is very beautiful. The water also accompanies the cyclist, beautiful views.

After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II – the builder of the castle in Schwerin – his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed through donations. It is considered the only historical equestrian statue in all of Mecklenburg. The work by the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 – in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as all those of rank and name in the Mecklenburg court nobility. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed in the typical, mostly military style of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble pedestal more than 4 m high. The base is surrounded by allegories of the four virtues of power: strength, justice, wisdom, and faith. Two commemorative plaques depict events from the reign of Frederick Francis II—the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's entry into Schwerin in 1871. The monument survived two wars and two dictatorships with great luck. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the war, and scrapped. www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-reiterdenkmal-friedrich-franz-ii-im-schlossgarten-schwerin
