Sellin: Seebrücke
Tucked along the Baltic Sea coast of Rügen, Sellin is a place whose character is shaped by its broad sandy shore and the island’s wooded coastal heights. The resort’s defining landmark is Sellin Pier, a long promenade bridge ending in a white, early-20th-century-style building above the water. Its present form, opened in 1998, recalls the grand bathing-resort architecture associated with Germany’s Baltic coast. Wilhelmstraße, the town’s main route to the shore, is lined with restored villas and leads down to the beach and pier. Sellin lies within the Southeast Rügen UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where beech woodland, cliffs and bays meet the Baltic Sea.

Among Baltic resorts in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sellin stands out for the 394-metre Seebrücke, a pier reaching from Rügen’s shore into the Baltic Sea. Its white pier building and the diving gondola at its end form the town’s best-known landmark. Sellin lies between the coast and Selliner See, while Wilhelmstraße rises from the waterfront through a district of early-20th-century Bäderarchitektur villas. Developed as a seaside resort in the late 19th century, the town retains a broad beach, wooded surroundings and the measured layout of a traditional German spa resort.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is best known within Germany for its Baltic Sea coastline, including the islands of Rügen and Usedom. Its northern edge meets the Baltic, while the interior is marked by lakes, lowland forests and farmland; Lake Müritz is Germany’s largest lake lying entirely within the country. The white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park on Rügen are among the state’s defining coastal formations. Stralsund and Wismar retain historic Hanseatic town centres, both inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Ports, seaside resorts and lake districts give the region a distinctly northern character.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
