Hiking
The **Jernbron ("Iron Bridge")** is a historic bridge over the Fyrisån and a charming spot on a walk along the river through Uppsala. Its characteristic iron construction is reminiscent of 19th-century engineering and stands out clearly from the city's more modern bridges. The bridge offers beautiful views of the Fyrisån, the green banks, and the adjacent city districts. Especially in combination with a walk along the water, the Jernbron is a worthwhile small testament to Uppsala's city and transport history.
