Nice view from the bridge to the parish church and the course of the Neisse.
Attention, you will be photographed, because this is a border crossing.
Additional:
The old town bridge was the first fortified Neisse crossing in the Görlitz city area. Until 1945, it connected the old town of Görlitz with the eastern suburbs in various forms. After the arched bridge was blown up at the end of the Second World War and the city was subsequently divided into a German and Polish part, only the stone abutments on both banks of the river reminded of the bridge. In 2004, a new pedestrian bridge was opened between Görlitz on the German side and Zgorzelec on the Polish side over the Lausitzer Neisse. The arch bridge has a span of around 80 meters and is intended to be a symbol of a Europe that is growing together and parts of the city that are growing together again.
