The bridge takes you over the romantic Aubach stream, which gently babbles along. You're surrounded by beautiful mixed forest. In spring, when the sun awakens the buds of the deciduous trees, various bird species flock here.

Nice little stable bridge, the paths to it are a bit slippery due to either mud or ice. Caution is advised.
