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.

The bridge takes its name from the Munich brewery Hacker-Pschorr, which paid 15 percent of the total construction cost of 200,000 euros to secure the naming rights. Hikers on the Sunnaweg cross it on the way to the Tannenhütte, which replaced the Gamshütte in 2018.

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 owes its name to Hacker-Pschorr, the Munich brewery that covered 15 percent of the total construction cost of 200,000 euros and thereby secured the naming rights. The galvanized steel structure spans the roughly 40-metre-deep Faukenschlucht with a length of 55 metres; its two main cables are 54.8 metres long and 44 mm thick.
