White bridges

White bridges
The White Bridges form a short and idyllic connection between the Tribseer Vorstadt and Stralsund's old town. The two white bridges on the man-made Küterdamm are a popular tourist attraction. They span the Knieperteich, which is more of a lake on which you can take short tours in pedal boats or rowing boats. The path across the Knieperteich was once one of several trade routes and still leads through the Kniepertor gate into the old town. As part of the former city fortifications, the White Bridges are now a small recreational area and ideal for escaping the tourist hustle and bustle. From here, the Knieperteich offers a very special photo motif for the Marienkirche. Especially at sunset, when the old town is reflected in the still water, you can take a wonderful vacation photo.

White bridges in Stralsund - between the old town and Knieperteich

The White Bridges in Stralsund are one of the quiet sights of the Hanseatic city on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The two white bridges on the man-made Küterdamm link the Tribseer Vorstadt with the historic old town and span the Knieperteich - a large body of water that is more reminiscent of a lake. Those who want to escape the tourist hustle and bustle will find a small, quiet recreational area here.

Pedal boats, history and the Knieper Gate

You can take a relaxing trip on the Knieperteich with pedal boats or rowing boats. The path over the bridges still leads through the historic Kniepertor gate into the old town - it used to be one of several trade routes in the city. As part of Stralsund's former urban fortifications, the White Bridges combine history and everyday life in a special way.

Photo motif at Knieperteich: St. Mary's Church in the reflection

The view of St. Mary's Church in Stralsund from Knieperteich is particularly popular. At sunset, the silhouette of the old town is reflected in the still water - a photo opportunity that hardly any visitor misses. Anyone traveling to the Baltic Sea region and using Stralsund as a starting point for excursions to Rügen or Fischland-Darß-Zingst should not miss this moment.
