Rügenbrücke

Rügenbrücke is the modern cable-stayed bridge linking Stralsund with Germany’s largest island, Rügen. Opened in 2007, it eases traffic to popular Baltic resorts and offers sweeping views of the Strelasund and historic skyline of Stralsund. While not a pedestrian attraction in itself, viewpoints along the waterfront and approach roads reveal its elegant pylons and maritime setting. Visit for photography at sunrise or sunset, combine with the adjacent heritage Rügendamm causeway, and explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Stralsund nearby. Ideal for travelers interested in engineering, coastal landscapes, and efficient access to Rügen’s beaches and nature.
