Seebrucke Binz
About
Seebrücke Binz is a historic stone pier that stretches out into the Baltic Sea on Rügen Island, offering panoramic views of the White Sea and the surrounding dunes. Originally built in 1902 to serve arriving passenger ships, the pier was destroyed in a storm in 1904 and rebuilt in 1994, preserving its classic design while providing a modern promenade for visitors. Today the pier is a bustling tourist attraction, featuring a 3‑metre wide walkways and a 4‑metre deep foundation that still accommodates small landing craft. The site hosts an annual Bridge Festival with live music, culinary stalls, and fireworks, making it a vibrant cultural hub for locals and tourists alike.
