The bridge is completely closed from now until further notice due to PLANNED renovation work! The detour (approx. 2 km!) is via the Kampmann Bridge!

Hiking

From Essen-Kupferdreh to Heisingen or vice versa: without any car traffic, you can cross the former railway bridge with an idyllic panoramic view. The bridge, which dates back to the second half of the 19th century, has been used as a cycle and pedestrian path since 1984.

Hiking

The old rails have been replaced with wooden planks, which allow for comfortable crossing of the bridge.
