Stone Bridge in the Schweinbach Valley

The barrel-vaulted bridge made of sandstone is located on the old church path from Oberkollbach to Altburg. The building dates back to the 18th century and was last restored in 2016. Very nice place by the stream.

⚠️ATTENTION⚠️
The Stone Bridge in the Schweinbachtal valley is no longer accessible.
For traffic safety reasons, the Stone Bridge can no longer be crossed. A barrier has been put in place.
Please use the stepping stones in the stream to cross.

Unfortunately, we can not use the Steinerne Brückle because of the danger of collapsing, so we cross the stream over some large stone blocks.

The barrel-vaulted sandstone quarry bridge marks the old Kirchweg from Oberkollbach to Altburg. The boundaries of the large parish were fixed since 1573, the places of the so-called> Reichenbacher office <, which were formerly part of Hirsau, were looked after by the saint-caretaker of St. Bartholomew of Pletschenau (Hirsau) until 1648. The bridge is already drawn in on the "Charter of Wirttemberg" drawn by Bohnenberger in 1798. Due to its simple form, it is difficult to date it, and it probably seems that it was created in the 18th century. "
