The historic Volme Bridge in Hagen-Dahl with a view of the listed Protestant parish church from 1730. The stone bridge over the Volme, built between 1840 and 1850, is around 28 m long. It has three basket arches and its two pillars have strong front ends that lead up to the parapet, where they form pulpit-like exits. The masonry is made of greywacke. It is the oldest bridge in Hagen.

On the history of a beautiful building:

"... The visitor to the Volme village Dahl likes to linger for a moment at the Volme Bridge, which is a hiker's delight because of its beautiful design. Nevertheless, very little is known about the history of this building in large circles of the population, so that the effort is made It is worth finding out more about it. Contradictory information is already given about the year it was built. It will therefore come as a surprise when we learn that the bridge was not built until around 1850. After Hagen was connected to the Volmetal by the construction of the Hagen – Bruges ( 1844) was connected, there was increased traffic with carriages along the Volme, while previously the high-level road Hagen - Kattenohl - Rövede - Lüdenscheid conveyed a large part of the traffic.This had to cross the Volme seven more times in the valley when driving from Dahl to Hagen be driven through, the inconveniences were eliminated by the construction of the country road in the individual villages were no longer sufficient for the traffic. The old wooden bridges became more and more dilapidated and had to be renewed. ..."
