A historically significant crossing of the Kellenbach. The ashlar stone bridge has been a listed building since December 1980. The reasoning behind it states, among other things:

"The stone bridge is the most artistically significant and probably the oldest bridge not only in the Rhein-Hunsrück district, but also in the entire Hunsrück."

The old postal route of the Habsburg emperors also ran over the bridge, also known as the Dutch postal route between Brussels and Innsbruck with a connection to Italy. From the mid-1520s until the 18th century, Thurn-and-Taxis post riders crossed the ford or the bridge at Gehlweiler.
