A local would say...

Caspar David Friedrich painted this skyline — and you can still line up with his view, the Dutch drawbridge still swings open for passing boats.

Greifswald's charming harbour district, reached by a Dutch-style wooden drawbridge that still opens for sailing boats. The city's old walls have been converted into a promenade, and the entire area retains the atmosphere of a historic Baltic fishing port. Caspar David Friedrich — born in nearby Greifswald — once painted this skyline.
