One of the famous bridges in Hohenfichte

Worth seeing, historical, useful - I find the hiking trail here upstream towards Harthfelsen on the northern side particularly beautiful!

For the first time a bridge was built in Hohenfichte at the former ford through the Flöha in 1602. Repeatedly repaired over the many years, it is still standing today - as can be seen on the adjacent picture. A little more than 50 meters long, it crosses the river at a height of 5 meters and is covered with thick planks.Crossing is fun on foot as there are elevated pedestrian walkways on both sides, and on the walls there are information boards explaining the structure and history of the bridge. Another such wooden bridge is located in Hennersdorf. Nearby attractions include the castle Augustusburg, the Hetzdorfer Viaduct with the Hetzdorf Bastei and the Klein-Erzgebirge in Oederan.

The bridge is completely made of wood and was built in 1832! It is built very flood proof.

Cool part - should you have seen ... 👍

Entertaining, informative round with many beautiful views.

Historic wooden bridge, where you can cross the river by car or on foot.

This bridge reminds me of the Diessenhofen / Gailingen wooden bridge on the Swiss border near Schaffhausen.

Does anyone still know one episode of "X Factor - The Unbelievable" with the motorcyclist? The wooden bridge that followed looked exactly like this. Therefore, as I walk through, a cold shiver of fear runs down my spine.

Great historical bridge, a real highlight!

Well-preserved, old wooden bridge. Nice photo opportunity.

Historic wooden bridge well worth seeing
