    Beautiful bridge that can still be used for pedestrians and cyclists... the rest. Traffic thunders by in the immediate vicinity

      The old Saale Bridge is an 11-span arch bridge over the Saale and the Mühlgraben.
      The bridge, which was built between 1598 and 1613 under Prince Bishop Julius Echter, is also made of red sandstone, as is the statue of St. Nepomuk (18th century).
