You can get to the city center quickly and safely over this bridge from the past.

There is a pretty story behind the unusual name. The pedestrian bridge was originally built by a citizens' cooperative in 1890 to get from the city to Melsungen train station faster. From then on, every passer-by had to pay a usage fee of two pfennigs to the bridge keeper, who collected money in a specially built little house on the right-hand side of the Fulda. On the beautiful Fulda section there is also a pedal boat rental throughout the summer. Thanks to the sliding ramps on the stairs, today's free 🙂 crossing by bike is no problem.

Pedestrian bridge from the train station to the old town. The bridge takes its name from the toll that was levied to finance and build the bridge. The customs house is at the end of the bridge. Today the two-penny bridge is the starting point for water sports. There is a pedal boat and stand-up paddle rental. There is also a tiny sandy beach.
