Göhren Pier, or Seebrücke Göhren in German, is a captivating pier in the Baltic seaside resort of Göhren on the island of Rügen.

Access to the pier is through a charming pier house (Brückenhaus) constructed in traditional style, featuring white paint and a green roof.Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Baltic Sea and the surrounding coastline from the pier. The pier also serves as a landing stage for cruise vessels, offering boat trips to the chalk coast and Peenemünde/Usedom.Göhren has a rich history of piers.

Another pier, 500 meters long, stood on the north beach and remained in use until the early 1950s. The modern Göhren Pier continues this legacy, providing a vital link to the sea and a beloved attraction for tourists.Göhren itself is a charming municipality on Rügen, known for its beautiful beaches and the easternmost point of the island, Cape Nordperd. The pier is easily accessible and well-signposted from various locations in the town.
