The Luisenbrücke bridge over the Neue Achen river at the outflow of Lake Simssee was rebuilt in spring 2025 for €224,000. Fifteen ten-meter-long oak piles were driven into the swampy ground for this environmentally friendly and sustainable wooden structure in the nature reserve. Fishing boats can pass unhindered under the bridge. The first Luisenbrücke bridge on this site was built in 1969 and renovated in 2001.

There is no bridge at the moment, it won't be there again until April! The hike ends too early, the hike only takes half an hour!
