This is a paved path across the bridge with metal railings separating pedestrians/cyclists from vehicular traffic. It feels safe but it can be a little loud. The views are beautiful.

Not just a little loud, but often very windy. Especially at low temperatures it feels really icy up on the bridge. On the left bank under the bridge there is a boat rental, an insider tip for adventurers and connoisseurs.
