The really original bridge actually dates back to 1928!

Hiking
Known from my childhood in the GDR, I have since discovered and climbed it again on weekends. You have a safe feeling when crossing.
I found the steps interesting: the higher you climb, the length of the tread increases, but not the height of the step.
Standing at the top, looking west, you have a good view of the former Cröllwitz paper factory with the ever-rushing weir. The Trothaer lock (Saale river kilometer 89.20) is unfortunately not visible from the bridge on the eastern side of the island of Forstwerder.
