Beautiful historic Elster Bridge. This arch bridge, built in 1904, is one of the most striking architectural monuments in the region. Fortunately, the Wehrmacht was able to prevent it from being blown up on April 12, 1945.

You can get to the water quite easily from the right bank under the Elsterbrücke. There are animals to be found under the stones, such as mayfly larvae, snails, amphipods and caddis fly larvae. Competition for kids blickpunkt-elster.de/wettbewerb-flusstagebuch
