(As of Oct 2025) The meadow path has been completely torn up by wild boars for hundreds of meters. Pushing the bike is a laborious task.

Nice place for a short break. You could park your car very close to the bridge and start and end your bike tour or hike there. (October 2024)

Demmin is an underrated small town. A detour is highly recommended for anyone travelling through Mecklenburg Switzerland. From the north, the town is practically the gateway to this region. During and after World War II, the town's citizens had to endure a lot of destruction. Despite this, enough substance and structure has been preserved and has been maintained in recent years to give an idea of how rich the town is in culture and history. The old warehouses at the port on the Peene River are examples of this and are a fantastic feature of the townscape. The same applies to the church and the medieval parcelling of the town centre.
