Germany Ruin of Eldena Abbey, Greifswald-Eldena
The ruin of Eldena-Abbey is a very pittoresque spot. Stones were taken from this ruin to built up the university in Greifswald. Trees have been planted where in former times pillar had been placed. Therefore Architecture and nature find a symbiosis in this place.
Photography Tips
It is not easy to find a view which does not show any other (modern) buildings in the background, since the ruin is situated within an urban settlement.
