If you're lucky, the soft serve ice cream truck will be there. The plain vanilla soft serve is the best.

Although this section is not asphalted, it is still easy to ride on a racing bike.

In the 12th century, work began on building a church in Ankershagen in the Romanesque style that was common at the time. This is why one of the oldest surviving fieldstone churches in Mecklenburg can be found in Ankershagen today. The church was renovated in the middle of the 13th century. It was given its current form through a reconstruction that probably also led to an extension. It was renovated in the Gothic style, but Romanesque elements were retained. http://www.ankershagen.de/kirche.html

The Heinrich Schliemann Museum was established in 1980. It is dedicated to the most famous son of Ankershagen, Heinrich Schliemann, the world-famous excavator of the ancient cities of Troy, Mycenae and Tiryns. The Schliemann Museum is one of the most important museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After Berlin, it has the most extensive material and scientific collection on the famous archaeologist. In his autobiography, Schliemann writes that he had already made the decision to search for and excavate Troy at the age of eight. His childhood experiences in Ankershagen must have had a great influence on his later life. Ankershagen can point to a long history, a rich world of legends, a knight's castle and many witnesses from ancient times. They obviously permanently inspired the imagination of the young Heinrich Schliemann. ankershagen.de/heinrich-schliemann.html
