Steinerne Brücke

Regensburg is a romantic and a very beautiful city. The bridge area is a very dynamic area with a lot of people, many souvenir shops, terraces of all kinds. The atmosphere in summer is super pleasant.

Regensburg is a charming old city and this bridge is its emblem. It was built over 800 years ago. It offers splendid sights over the Danube. Lots of people go there, as well as on a picnic around it on the banks of the river. There are ducks living around too.

Visited on Sunday and was so busy at that time on the bridge. so stunning views and the wind come from the Danube river make so much of a pretty environment there. The perfect place to stay and enjoy your vacation day. The river bank of the Danube is so stunning in the afternoon.

A beautiful bridge built in the Middle Ages with many arches across the Danube river. On both side of the river are the many tourist attractions and eateries. We came during some kind of festival and so fun to see so many people dressed up in the traditional clothings.

Stunning masterpiece of Roman engineering standing tall after 2000 years !

A car free bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists offers a spectacular view of the city. This 12th century bridge faces the Danube. It’s even more stunning at night.

We visited Regensburg for the 2024 Christmas market season. The old town is very walkable. We were able to visit all the Christmas markets on foot including the small market just across the bridge. We had the best pork sandwich with horseradish at this tiny market. One of the best things we ate during our 9 day Christmas market trip. Took this beautiful photo from the bridge.

This is a remarkable medieval structure that dates back to 12th century and it is over Danube river. It is one of the oldest bridge of Europe that survived this long and it definitely gives that vibe in the UNESCO town of Regensburg. It gives amazing view on both sides with old and captivating architecture, restaurants, clock tower and garden. The old city charm enchants you and takes you in different era somehow. Lovely place.

This impressive twelfth-century structure has straddled the Danube for more than 900 years, and it's a masterpiece of medieval engineering. The oldest of its kind in Europe, this 310-meter-long bridge is now used only for pedestrian/bicycle traffic and offers the best views of the Danube and Regensburg. The Stone Bridge was built in only eleven years, probably in 1135-46. Louis VII of France and his army used it to cross the Danube on their way to the Second Crusade. It served as a model for other stone bridges built in Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries: the Elbe bridge (now Augustus Bridge) in Dresden, London Bridge across the Thames, the Pont d'Avignon across the Rhône and the Judith Bridge (predecessor of the Charles Bridge) across the Vltava in Prague. It remained the only bridge across the Danube at Regensburg for about 800 years until the construction of the Nibelungen Bridge in 1930s. For centuries it was the only bridge over the river between Ulm and Vienna making Regensburg into a major center of trade and government. Brückturm (Bridge Tower) is the last surviving of the bridge's three towers. It's very impressive to know the 17th-century tower clock with its dependable mechanism has kept time since 1652.

A beautiful landmark in this amazing city. Unfortunately it is closed at the moment for renovation but it is well worth a visit in town. It has been around for centuries and crosses over the Donau river. A lovely biergarten exists on the other side and the view of the city from this bridge is spectacular. A must visit in town.

What else could i say. The Old stone bridge is beside the cathedral the most important cultural buildig in Regensburg. Take a walk, take time and make yourself an overview about the beauty of Regensburg. A wonderful Place beneath the Stone Bridge is the Beschlacht, which crosses the bridge. In the Summer you can sit by the danube and relax. Worth a visit, worth a walk, worth many photos from different perspectives.
