Camping an der Dänischen Wiek

“Did you ever hear the legend of the hidden Viking treasure at the Dänische Wiek?” I ask, my voice low and conspiratorial, as we stand at the entrance of Camping an der Dänischen Wiek. “They say it’s buried somewhere beneath the sands, waiting for a worthy adventurer to unearth it.” Of course, there’s no actual historical evidence of Viking treasure here. But Camping an der Dänischen Wiek, nestled on the edge of the beautiful Hanseatic university city of Greifswald, certainly holds its own kind of riches. This idyllic, family-friendly campsite was newly built in 2014. It’s located directly on the Dänische Wiek, along the Caspar-David-Friedrich-Bildweg, offering breathtaking views of the Greifswalder Bodden. On a clear day, you can even see the island of Rügen. Camping an der Dänischen Wiek is perfectly situated for those seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. The Bodden itself is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, and the surrounding area offers opportunities for swimming, hiking, and cycling. The campsite caters to all ages and families, whether you travel by motorhome, caravan, or tent. Imagine pitching your tent right here, between the water and meadows, a gentle breeze rustling through the reeds. You can almost smell the salty air and hear the distant calls of seabirds. For those without their own bikes, rentals are available nearby in Eldena. This provides the perfect opportunity to visit the historic Eldena Abbey ruins, immortalized in many paintings by Caspar David Friedrich. Another nearby attraction is the historic wooden bascule bridge, Wiecker Brücke. After a day of exploring, enjoy local and international delicacies at the cozy restaurants, cafés, and traditional snack bars near the bridge. Camping an der Dänischen Wiek is also conveniently located just 5 km from Greifswald’s historic center, with its renowned brick Gothic architecture. Spend a day exploring the state museum’s exhibitions, visiting the three Hanseatic churches, or simply strolling through the streets. Enjoy the city’s atmosphere at one of the many street cafés. Numerous well-stocked shopping centers around Greifswald offer everything for your daily needs. They are easily accessible by car, bicycle, on foot, or by public transport. So while there may not be any Viking gold to be found, Camping an der Dänischen Wiek provides a treasure trove of experiences. A place where natural beauty meets historical charm. It’s a true gem on the Baltic coast.
