Franzosenbrücke Bridge

Mystical resting place on a gate-shaped rock formation, the French Bridge. While taking a break here, you can be amazed at what physics and skillful architecture can do.

A mystical rock arch made of sandstone. It was built with the help of French emigrants during the French Revolution, hence the name. At the rest area right next to it, you can admire this artistic structure in peace.

Here the Duchess of Württemberg, Dorothea Friederike Sophie von Brandenburg, had a hermit detention facility with wooden turrets and bell built, called the “Chapel in the Wood”. Emigrants from the French Revolution helped with the construction, hence the name "Franzosenbruck". A rock arch made of sandstone blocks is still preserved.
