Updated: August 2026 | The Titan RT in the Harz was long Germany's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. Since 2023, the Skywalk Willingen has taken over the record, but the 483-meter-long bridge at the Rappbodetalsperre is still a spectacular sight.

Titan RT in Harz
We had heard about the Titan RT, which used to be Germany's longest suspension bridge, several times, and were eager to see it with our own eyes. So we set the GPS to Titan RT and drove towards the popular attraction.
The Titan RT passes over Rappbode Damm in the Harz, about 80 kilometers southwest of Magdeburg, in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Rappbode dam
Rappbode Dam is the largest dam in the Harz region and the highest dam in Germany. The dam is crossed by a car and pedestrian bridge, and the famous suspension bridge is close by.
Titan RT – formerly Germany's longest suspension bridge
Titan RT is a 483-meter-long suspension bridge, of which approximately 458.5 meters are free-hanging over the valley, which previously made it Germany's longest pedestrian suspension bridge.
Today, the bridge has become a popular attraction, and in addition to walking on the bridge, you can try various adrenaline-raising activities... The site also has food outlets, a playground and the unique "Solitair" observation tower.
See Titan RT – from the car bridge
We started by checking out the suspension bridge from the combined pedestrian and car bridge. From here you have a really good view of the suspension bridge, and you are also in a good position to watch the zipline or the bungyjump-like "Gigaswing" ...
See Titan RT – from below
From the car bridge you can walk under the suspension bridge to reach the starting point of the bridge. From here you also get an interesting view!
See Titan RT – from above
You can also look at everything from above, from the viewpoint where the suspension bridge starts. From here you have a nice view of the car bridge, the suspension bridge and the valley.
See Titan RT – by walking on it
Finally, the bridge can be experienced by walking on it. You pay a fee and then just step out onto the bridge and enjoy.
At least Peter enjoyed the view. If you, like me, Helena, are hysterically afraid of heights, it's much more enjoyable to stay on solid ground and just watch that swinging bridge from a distance. Peter did say that it felt stable and didn't move much, but that could possibly vary depending on how windy it is.
Zipline and 'Gigaswing'
After checking out the view in different ways, we were satisfied, but if you're not, there are different ways to challenge yourself. You can zipline all the way to the other side of the water.
There is also 'Gigaswing', which is a variant of bungee jumping. Here you start from the small building hanging under the bridge and throw yourself downwards. I (Helena) was so content to just watch, and was very grateful that it wasn't me dangling from a rope out there...
The Solitair Tower
Right next to the entrance to the suspension bridge stands the 39-meter-high ”Solitair” tower. When we visited the site, the shiny steel structure was brand new and was actually due to open the day after our visit. Today, the tower is one of the attractions at Rappbodetalsperre.
The tower has several functions. Firstly, it serves as a viewing tower and can be accessed via 160 steps or a panoramic glass lift. The tower also offers activities for those who want a little more adrenaline.
"Ultrashot" offers a quick way to the top with a "catapult". When you go down again, you can choose "Wall running", where you climb down head first. This is not really for me (Helena) ... but maybe for you?

Where can I park my motorhome?
It is possible to stay with a camper at At the dam, near the bridge. Here you will find electricity, water and the possibility of emptying. Check current prices and conditions before visiting.
In Thale there are several places to choose from, both with and without service. We were at Parking An der Hütte, which is a place without services, but we still liked it.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about Titan Rt
How long is the Titan RT suspension bridge?
Titan RT has a total length of 458.5 meters. The narrow footbridge spans the valley at the Rappbodetalsperre in the Harz and offers plenty of views – and height.
How high above the ground does the Titan RT go?
The suspension bridge spans about 75 meters over the valley at Rappbodetalsperre. The structure consists of a walkway of approximately 1.2 meters wide made of metal grating, which also allows you to see down through the bridge.
Does it cost to upgrade to Titan RT?
Yes, there is a fee to cross Titan RT. There are both separate tickets for the suspension bridge and combination tickets with other attractions in the area. Check current prices before visiting.
Is the Titan RT suitable for those who are afraid of heights?
Of course, it depends on how afraid you are of heights. The bridge is secured with netting along the sides, but the walkway consists of metal gratings and the bridge can move slightly. If you are really afraid of heights, like Helena, it is great to enjoy the view of the bridge from solid ground instead.
What is Gigaswing at Titan RT?
Gigaswing is an adrenaline-filled activity where you launch yourself from a gondola under the suspension bridge and free fall about 70 meters before transitioning into a pendulum motion. It is therefore significantly more nerve-wracking than just walking across the bridge.
What else is there to do at Titan RT?
In addition to walking across the suspension bridge, you can ride the Megazipline, try the Gigaswing and visit the Solitair observation tower. The area also has a 5D cinema and activities for children.
Where is Titan RT located?
The Titan RT is located at the Rappbodetalsperre in the Harz Mountains in Saxony-Anhalt. The bridge is located near the town of Rübeland and can easily be combined with other Harz excursion destinations, such as Thale, Wernigerode and Quedlinburg.
Can you visit Titan RT with a camper?
Yes. There is a possibility to stay with a camper at An der Talsperre near the bridge. Another option is to stay overnight in Thale, where there are several possibilities for campers and from where the Titan RT is a good excursion.

The bridge is really cool! Zipline is not for me (but Peter has tried in other places), but if you like it, it's certainly a cool place for this! 🙂

RT Titan we can write ✔️ on. We visited the bridge on our way home from Spain in 2019. Then Linda and Pär had written about it. When we were there, it was a typical autumn day with a little rain and wind so there was a little shuffling walk on the bridge and some other activities were not open. The new tower looks really cool!

I am not afraid of heights, but I can safely say that I would be very hesitant to cross that suspension bridge. Oh zipline or Gigaswing never in life. Would not try bungy jump either. There we are quite similar Helena; -)

Ok, I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone in not wanting to go anywhere, haha 😉.
