    -after the turn of 1989-1991 raft operation
    -from 1991 - 2003 wooden footbridge
    -The inauguration took place in May 2005 with the presence of the 3 daughters of the former landowner
    -connects Pottiga with Rudolphstein, the municipality of Rosenthal am Rennsteig with the municipality of Berg and thus the Saale-Orla district (Thuringia) with the district of Hof (Bavaria)

      Saalbach is one of the oldest crossings of the upper Saale River; the original ford was later replaced by a footbridge.
      In 1875, this footbridge was extended by a covered wooden bridge, which was destroyed in 1945 by order of German troops.
      It's great that, since the construction of this bridge in 2004, you can cross the river again.

        The bridge's metal grating is unsuitable for dog paws and bicycle tires.
        The story behind the bridge is tragic. Large panels introduce the history of the former Saalbach estate.
