A little tension is also nice... from above you have a good view of the gorge. The climb is worth it!"

For anyone who also has a fear of heights when going up (i.e., not going down), my tip: reverse the tour; that's what we did. Then the bridge is a normal bridge, with a small stream underneath (maybe 3-4 meters deep), which you step onto after a few steps without much of a climb. The only uneasy part is the grating above and along the ravine. But: this way, the "protective mountain" is on your left, even though there's no railing on the left (there's only a handrail on the right). You can hold on to the mountain at any time. It doesn't go directly down there either, but rather there are always "earthen embankments," so you only have to consciously look to the right to see the depth of the ravine. There are also concrete platforms along the way. At the end, you go down the stairs. So, for me, it was manageable without any major problems, unlike many church towers.
