If you are brave, you can take a short shortcut across this "bridge". But it is not an official route, it runs past the bridge and does not provide a major detour. I always walk over the wobbly wooden construction, which is actually more stable than it looks.. if you know where to step ;)

Hold on tight when you walk over here. Further above you will find the wild and romantic brook valley with lots of fallen trees. To recommend.
