Welcome to Anklam, a historic Hanseatic town nestled on the banks of the Peene River, often called the "Amazon of the North." You can feel the town's rich past in the impressive Brick Gothic architecture of St. Mary's and St. Nicholas' churches, which dominate the skyline. Anklam is also famously the birthplace of aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, and you can explore his fascinating story and inventions at the local museum. It's a place where you can wander through medieval gates, enjoy the serene river landscape, and touch the very beginnings of flight.
