Great panorama and at the end of the beautiful bridge there is a rustic beer garden. 🍻😎

Countless hikers cross this Rochsburger landmark every season. Meanwhile, the old suspension bridge has been replaced by a new one. This was opened in autumn 2011.
The major routes of the local and local network of trails lead over the suspension bridge. The building is the only and most important connection for hikes along the Zwickauer Mulde. Whether in the direction of Penig, or in the shower valley to the "effervescent king" direction Burgstädt, also to "Höllmühle" past the "horse stables", a rock formation near the "Biebermühle", the tours are definitely an experience for young and old!
The bridge is also significant for the many day-trippers who travel by train from Burgstädt (train station) via Helsdorf to Rochsburg.
For the inhabitants of the settlement "Am Wald" it is the connection to their land.
In the vernacular, the housing estate is also called "small Poland".
It should be mentioned that in the thirties of the last century the construction of a stone bridge (model was the hollow bridge Rochlitz) was planned. The plan remained, he was never executed.

A simple gantry over the Mulde in Rochsburg was mentioned around 1480. Since about 1878 existed a "wavering footbridge" - popularly called swing bridge. In 1936, this old bridge was renewed and during the 1954 flood, the entire bridge was torn away. In the years 1955/56 the construction of a new suspension bridge took place.
After all, this construction lasted for 57 years until the completion of the new, modern bridge in autumn 2011.
