The Kettensteg is the oldest iron chain bridge in Europe and the oldest free-floating suspension bridge in Germany.

The first free-floating river bridge in Germany, suspended from chains, gave the restaurant located on it its name. In the days of the imperial city, the restaurant was named after two other Nuremberg restaurants. Located directly on the Pegnitz, the Kettensteg was a popular restaurant, especially in the summer when the garden was in use.
The restaurant is currently being renovated. But you can buy drinks or coffee at a small stand and make yourself comfortable on one of the garden chairs.

The historic chain bridge begins to sway slightly as you cross it, which is an interesting feeling. You also have a very nice view of the Pegnitz to the right and left.
