    Hiking

    Some of the historic fortifications still exist today around the historic city centre of the Hanseatic city.

    Hiking

    The approximately two-kilometer-long rampart encircles Greifswald's old town like a belt, stretching from the university cafeteria to the small zoo. The rampart is less than a kilometer from the train station, providing quick access to the city center. Paths lead down into the old town roughly every 50 meters.

    The rampart has been used as a fortification against enemy attacks since the city's founding in 1250 and consists of a system of moats, earthworks, towers, watchtowers, gates, and a wall. However, even the rampart could not prevent the city's capture by the Catholic general Wallenstein in 1627.
