    The interesting thing about this Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke in German) is that it is one of the oldest bridges in Germany and an important Romanesque building in Regensburg. According to the natives of Regensburg, the bridge is shrouded in legend

    This is the main attraction to see in Regensburg. The bridge itself seems to recently have been cleaned or renovated, as the bricks seem to shine in the sun. The bridge links both sides of the historical city center to each other. It also offers great sunset shots over the Danube.

    A medieval masterpiece of medieval art, the stone bridge in Regensburg is a beautiful and soulful, slightly bulging bridge that is the most famous place of the city, apart from the cathedral and the old town. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, it captivates with its magic, especially the captivating view of the Dunsj, passing barges, the old entrance gate to the city and the bustling life along the banks of the river.

    The Old Stone Bridge is one of the most iconic monuments of Regensburg that was built about 800 years ago over the Danube River. Dont forget to spot the Bruckmandl or bridge-man at the highest point of the bridge

    The Old Stone Bridge in Regensburg is a picturesque masterpiece that gracefully spans the Danube. Its medieval charm, with characteristic arches and sturdy stone construction, adds character to the cityscape. Walking across this historic bridge offers captivating views of Regensburg's skyline and the flowing river below. The bridge is not just a crossing point; it's a symbol of the city's enduring legacy. A delightful blend of history and scenic beauty.

    The Old Stone Bridge in Regensburg is a stunning piece of medieval architecture and an important historical landmark. This bridge, which dates back to the 12th century, spans the Danube River and has been a vital part of Regensburg's infrastructure for centuries. The bridge is made of massive stone blocks and features a series of arches that support the weight of the bridge and allow ships to pass beneath.

    An impressive medieval bridge that has been rebuilt and reconstructed. This is one of the oldest bridges on the Danube and is quite wonderful to see, particularly in the evening. However, history enthusiasts should be aware that nearly all of the bridge, or at least the visible parts have been recently reconstructed. The bridge has a side causeway down to one of the islands in the Danube where one can sit and watch the river.

    Uncanny resemblance to the Charles bridge in Prague. However the old stone bridge on Danube gives its own charm to Regensburg. Worth visiting.

    Perfekter Ort um mit den Liebsten bei einer Pizza zu entspannen und zu quatschen. Bei gutem Wetter ist hier immer was los. Vor allem bei jungen Leuten sehr beliebt. Direkt auf der Steinernen Brücke sind auch oft Musiker. Die Brücke ist mit dem Fahrrad befahrbar.

    Definitely one of the best sites in Regensburg and a must see ... Though the first time would always be the best, I enjoy my visit to this bridge, each time I go there ... At your first time, and if you are not very used to the type of architecture available in the old towns of Germany, you will have a triple short of blast: 1- Enjoying the architecture of the old town in general and the surrounding of the bridge. 2- Enjoy seeing the Danube River, especially at night! The sound of the river's flow will provide you with an unbelievable! 3- Enjoy the bridge itself, its lights, its architecture, and the enthusiasm and live of the people that you see there.

    a 12th century stone bridge passing on top of the Danube river. splendid scenery in the surroundings and lots of coffee/shops in the area. very crowded. but the view to the town is worth it.

    Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage place, has a beautiful Old City area, with many beautiful and colourful patrician homes. To really appreciate this place, a walk by foot through the Old City of Regensburg is the best way to appreciate the beauty of this place, and this includes a walk over the famous Old Stone Bridge. The view from the bridge towards the Old City and over the Danube River is just wonderful. It is an easy, comfortable walk and very enjoyable. The view and the photo opportunities from the bridge are just amazing. This bridge is one of the most historical monuments in Regensburg. The construction of the bridge started in 1135 and finished in 1146, and it was built completely from stones. This stone bridge is considered to be a masterpiece of medieval building skills and the oldest bridge of this kind, still in a well maintained and functioning situation.

    One of the most beautiful place in the city where all tourists should pay their time for. The design is not really special but in combination with the surrounding streets, the cruise ships and all green parks, this bridge is without a doubt worth your trip to Regensburg.

    Schöne große Brücke. Mit Zugang zu den Donauinseln. Die Donauinsel Jahn hat eine große schöne Grünanlage mit sonnigen und schattigen Grünflächen zum verweilen für Jung und Alt. In der Nähe gibt es schöne Biergärten zum Brotzeit machen. Man kann hier schöne entspannte Stunden verbringen.

    Sehenswert. Schöner Ausblick auf die Donau und Regensburg je nachdem wie weit man läuft. Auf beiden Seiten gibt es Cafés und Eisdielen für die kleine Pause.

    Nestled in the heart of Regensburg, the Old Stone Bridge is a true testament to the city's rich history. As I strolled along its cobblestone path, I couldn't help but be captivated by the sheer beauty of this ancient structure. The weathered stones tell tales of centuries gone by, and the view of the Danube from the bridge is nothing short of breathtaking. What sets the Old Stone Bridge apart is the sense of authenticity it exudes. Unlike some tourist spots, this bridge hasn't been overly commercialized. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in the past, imagining the footsteps of those who traversed it long before us. The surrounding architecture adds to the charm, and the play of sunlight on the stone creates a picturesque scene that's perfect for capturing memories. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just seeking a quiet escape, the Old Stone Bridge is an absolute must-visit.

    Toll, dass dort keine Autos fahren. Auf der Brücke spielte ein Straßenmusiker. Auf der nördlichen Seite sind direkt Restaurants, Cafés und Eisdielen. Kleiner Tipp: in der "Eis Galerie" schmeckt das Eis unglaublich gut!

    Old stone bridge was damaged at the end of WW2. The renewed one is in comparison to bridges in Würzburg or Prague not so exciting. Missing statues etc. but still nice place to hang around.

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 5 months ago on Google
    A beautiful landmark full of history overlooking the river. Definitely stop here and take a walk along the paths next to the river

    Very nice old bridge. Renewed approximately 10 years ago. Full of tourist with wonderful views to the river Danube, city of Regensburg and Stadtamhof.

    ….:It’s so nostalgic to be walking around a town on the Danube River that dates back to the medieval days of the 1200’s almost 800 years later and it is so well preserved and maintained. Very impressive is the beautiful “Clock-Towers” all around the town it is said that there are nine of them in total around the town of Regensburg. The Old Gate entrance to the town from the Danube River is so awesome 🤩 and well preserved. The cobble stone roads are still walkable no loose stones to trip over this tells you that those responsible are rep-lii doing an excellent job preserving what is to be encountered here in Regensburg for generations to come and see…NB! Something worthwhile to mention is the fact that the town’s leaders remember the citizens (Jews) that went missing during WW11 because around the town where these persons lived there is a high-lii polished “Brass-Plate” with their names on…May their souls R.I.P…😇

  • 5/5 Thomas F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great historical bridge. Don't forget to get yourself some of the famous small sausages from the small historic sausage kitchen near the bridge. :)

  • 5/5 Mangold S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best views of the town, crossing this bridge felt a little like walking in Prague's Charles bridge

  • 5/5 toddjones2152 2 years ago on Google
    Very good place to take photos of the historic city.

  • 5/5 Markus �. 1 year ago on Google
    Exceptionally well constructed bridge originally build in 10th century. Along with the Regensburg Cathedral , the Stone Bridge is the most important building in Regensburg . With the bridge man, the stone bridge had a well-known landmark very early on, whose original meaning was disputed and whose popularity has remained until today. Open to pedestrian and cyclists Beautiful views of Regensburg Germany Amazing photo opportunity 1st stone bridge in Europe 🌍 Connects the islands in the Danube with downtown Final take....must go in Regensburg.

    The Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) in Regensburg, Germany, is a 12th-century bridge across the Danube linking the Old Town with Stadtamhof. For more than 800 years, until the 1930s, it was the city's only bridge across the river. It is a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city.

    Make sure to visit this old stone bridge for a great view of the whole area. You can walk underneath the bridge, just be careful as it has no rails and there is danger of falling in the river. The area around the bridge offers some great restaurants and walking trails.

  • 5/5 Malik 1 year ago on Google
    Truly a beautiful place. This is the #1 spot for taking pictures in the area. If you ever happen to go to Regensburg, you have to go here.

    Cycle paths are super, great place to visit with beautiful buildings

  • 5/5 Orsolya Z. 8 months ago on Google
    A nice old bridge, but when you walk on it, it is not much to look at. However, the view is very nice from the bridge to the town. The beauty of the bridge itself is better appreciated from the side, from where you can see the architecture.
