Devil's Bridge Inzigkofen

The bridge takes its name from the Devil's Bridge near the St. Gotthard Pass. In the Romantic era, people were particularly fond of the Swiss landscape. And perhaps the landscape of the Danube Valley also resembled Switzerland. But of course, a legend was also invented for the Devil's Bridge.

The wooden bridge constructed when the park was expanded to the west in 1843 was replaced in 1895 by an elegantly curved concrete structure with ascending and descending stairs. The bridge, the name of which probably goes back to the enthusiasm for Switzerland in Romanticism and is derived from the "real" Devil's Bridge at the St. Gotthard Pass, is soon embellished with a legend according to which the builder asked the devil, who was helpful in the bridge construction, to call it in of "wages" was able to outsmart. After passing the bridge, you leave the gorge through a 4 meter long, artificial rock tunnel. The "Höll" below the Teufelsbrücke was accessible in earlier days by an adventurous staircase and footbridge, the "Himmelsleiter".
