    Hiking

    You might think a dragon is slithering from one bank to the other. But what you see here isn't a creature straight out of a fantasy novel, but a wooden pedestrian bridge connecting the two banks of the Main-Danube Canal. At 193 meters long, it can proudly claim to be one of the longest wooden bridges in Europe.

    From the bridge, beautiful views of Essing, the Randeck Castle ruins, and the river landscape are guaranteed. And with a little luck, a ship might pass under the bridge just as you're standing on the bridge enjoying the view.

    The bridge stands out from afar due to its curious construction. At 193 meters long, the "Tatzlwurm" suspension bridge construction is one of the longest wooden bridges in Europe and connects the two sides of the Essing valley. Walk over it, cyclists have to get off and enjoy the gentle swing. You should definitely give yourself this experience, great.

    The wooden bridge "Tatzlwurm" is 193 meters long and is the second longest wooden bridge in Europe. It connects the two sides of the valley of Essing, which is idyllically situated in the Altmühl valley. From the bridge you have a great view of the Essing rock massif and the Randeck castle ruins, which tower high above the town.
