The old wooden bridge leads over the White Elster and is the only wooden bridge of its kind preserved in Germany. Its construction is comparable to the famous Chapel Bridge on Lake Lucerne. It is a listed building and was voted the most beautiful bridge in Central Germany in 2007.

The historic wooden bridge in Wunschdorf/Elster, not far from the town of Gera in Thuringia, is one of the last remaining covered wooden bridges in Germany. It is under monument protection. The bridge was built as early as the 13th century and has since been destroyed several times. The current bridge was built in 1786.
