Excellent views both upstream and downstream. You can also enjoy watching the activity in the boat harbor. The statues of the Virgin Mary and St. John Nepomuk (?) on the bridge are definitely worth a second look.

The water is shallow here, making it a good place to enter or exit.

Be careful on the bike path toward Hirschaid. The harbor slipway runs across it.
