Hacker-Pschorr-Brücke, Steel suspension bridge in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
The Hacker-Pschorr-Brücke is a steel suspension bridge that crosses a mountain gorge in the Bavarian Alps near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It connects hiking trails and provides direct access to higher-altitude mountain destinations in the region.
The bridge was built in 2011 and opened in 2012 to safely guide hikers across the mountain gorge. A Munich-based brewery company provided financial support to make the project possible.
This crossing point represents a connection between traditional Alpine engineering and modern infrastructure, enhancing access to mountain paths in Upper Bavaria.
The bridge is open to pedestrians year-round and saves time when heading to higher-altitude mountain huts. Wear good hiking shoes and take care in wet conditions, as the surface can become slippery.
The bridge cables are made of galvanized steel and built robustly to withstand harsh Alpine weather conditions. Many hikers notice only when crossing how the bridge sways slightly despite its sturdy design.
