    Hiking

    The Stone Bridge from 1711 over the Schorgast, also called "Wernersbruck", is a technical monument and a masterly craftsmanship with a high rarity value.
    For centuries, heavy horse-drawn wagons of copper ore and stones rolled over the bridge, defying for centuries all the water, ice drifts and even heavy tanks at the end of the Second World War.

    The stone bridge from 1711 over the Schorgast, also called "Wernersbruck", is a technical monument and a masterly craftsmanship with a high rarity value.
    For centuries, heavy horse-drawn carts with copper ore and stones rolled over the bridge, for centuries it defied all the masses of water, ice drifts and even heavy tanks at the end of the Second World War. In order to meet today's traffic requirements, the bridge was completely refurbished and renovated in 1995 by the district of Kulmbach.

    additional reinforced concrete pillars have preserved the historic stone bridge from 1711 and also increased the load-bearing capacity for modern traffic
