In the upper part of the village is the beautiful stone sky bridge over the Mandau River, which was formerly popularly called the Ochsenbrücke. It was built in 1832 on the site of an older wooden bridge from 1752. The stone arch of the bridge forms a circle with its reflection in the water, which is a popular motif. The damaged bridge was reconstructed in 1993 and 1994, and the approaches were flatter and wider. The bridge shines in all its beauty again today, but is still very difficult for drivers to see when driving on it.

Nice building with an interesting history. The story is written on a blackboard on the left in the direction of flow of the Mandau and is worth reading.
