Beautiful suspension bridge completed in 2019. It is 180 meters long and 23 meters high. The maximum passage width is 0.85 meters. A highlight, in my opinion, is the "Brüchenbuch", where you can document your impressions. The signage and parking facilities leave something to be desired.

What good is a restaurant for a hiker in the late afternoon? It's a shame. I rely on self-catering and no longer rely on opening hours from 5 PM Thursday to Saturday. It's best to bring everything yourself. 🤷♂️😉

It's interesting to see what was going on here in the restricted area for many years.
