    Hiking

    Beautiful view of the former tower hill of Ekberg Castle. Ekberg Castle was built in the 13th century by the Lords of Gristow as a lowland castle. There was probably a stone defensive tower on the prominent castle hill, and the entire castle area was probably surrounded by a row of palisades.
    The location in the middle of a wet, boggy lowland was ideal because a siege was difficult (and defense was therefore easy).


    Troops from the city of Greifswald only managed to capture and destroy the castle on their third attempt in the 14th century.
