Well-known pedestrian iron bridge over the Werra

After construction began in 1882, the arched bridge was opened on April 6, 1883. It was built by the Nöll company based on a project by the ducal senior building officer for road and hydraulic engineering, Eduard Fritze. The bridge connects the palace gardens and the northwestern old town within walking distance to the Herrenberg landscape park on the mountain slope of the same name and the Limbachsweg, along which the Werratalradweg and Main-Werra-Radweg long-distance cycle routes as well as hiking and walking trails run. The bridge itself is crossed by the Milseburgweg quality hiking trail and the Meininger premium hiking trail.

The strongly curved Meininger arched bridge has a span of 36 meters and a total length of around 48 meters including abutments. It is fitted with a cast iron railing that is held in place with stone posts at both ends of the bridge. The once asphalted walkway is now paved.

As a result of severe corrosion damage, the bridge was extensively renovated and partially reconstructed true to the original by the Regensburg steel construction company STS Stahltechnik GmbH in 1991/92. It was reopened to the public on March 25, 1992.

Many lovers and newlyweds attach their love locks, usually with individual engravings, to this elegantly curved bridge, located in the idyllic castle park and not far from the registry office.

The Main-Werra cycle path connects the Main in Lower Franconia and the Werra in southern Thuringia as well as the cities of Würzburg and Meiningen.

The long-distance cycle path is 140 kilometers long and leads from Würzburg via Schweinfurt, Bad Neustadt, Mellrichstadt and Ritschenhausen to Meiningen.

The cycle path is marked with orange square signs with the "MW" logo.

In Mühlfeld near Mellrichstadt you can shorten the route via the Meiningen-Haßfurt cycle path, which leads via Sülzfeld to Meiningen with the MH marking.

As far as possible it follows the Werntal, Maintal, Lauertal, Streutal and Werratal valleys and you cycle on a flat stretch.

When the path leaves the valleys, slight and moderate gradients must be overcome.

The route has a medium level of difficulty.

The route of the cycle path can be viewed on OpenStreetMap.
