ARRIVING OVER AN ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE
Since the opening of the "Rügenbrüke" (bridge) over the Strelasund, the journey to Binz has become an experience. The bridge with its length of 4, 7 km is the longest in Germany and without doubt, with its height of 42m, an engineering masterpiece – although train traffic still runs over the old brick built "Rügendamm" which runs parallel , over Dänholm.
