The St. John Bridge is one of the old bridges over the river Saane (La Sarine), which winds through the old town of Freiburg. It has dug itself deep into the landscape. From the bridge there are wonderful views of the river and the old town stretching along the hill. On the southeast side is the St. John Church.
