Best Hikes to Eselsbrücke over the Nidder

Tips

  • If you are agile enough and careful, you can dangle your feet over the water here, because there is no railing to stop you on this rustic bridge.

  • Historical bridge - "Donkey Bridge"
    The small bridge is located between Glashütten and Steinberg and leads over the Nidder. According to oral tradition, the name of the bridge comes from the donkeys that used to walk the way to the Igelhäuser mill and back over the bridge with heavy loads on their backs. The bridge was also often used by the villagers to get to Bornplatz in front of the Scheidwald, where they fetched water. You can find out more about the bridge on an information board on the "Eisenpfad", right next to the bridge.
