Seebrücke Sellin
The Seebrücke in Sellin is the most beautiful and best-known pier on Rügen, and quite possibly the most photographed sight on the entire island. The elegant white-and-blue bridge with its pavilion has become the defining symbol of the fashionable seaside resort Sellin.
Seaside resort architecture over the water
The pier stretches far out into the Baltic Sea and ends in an elegant pavilion with restaurant, built in the distinctive style of Bäderarchitektur. A stroll along the boardwalk, with the sea all around you and the white bathhouses behind you, is a memorable experience, especially at sunrise or on a lit-up evening.
The diving gondola
At the far end of the pier you will find the Tauchgondel: a round gondola that slowly descends below the water's surface. Through its windows you can watch fish, seaweed and the life of the Baltic Sea, all while staying completely dry. Walking along the pier is free; a fee applies for the diving gondola. You will find all practical details and the map location below.
