The bridge towers above everything and seems "otherworldly." During a rest stop, you get used to this view, and as you continue walking, it feels as if the bridge belongs right there.

From Zeltlingen, the path goes uphill, and if you turn around, you'll have this view of the village from above – picturesquely situated between the vineyards and the Moselle. It has a romantic feel.

The view is fantastic. We had good weather, which made it even better. After climbing up, let your gaze wander.

Relax and enjoy the view from the forest sofa! A fantastic view from the lock on the left over Zeltingen-Rachting, the monastery, and the bridge.
