For years this bridge over the Wakenitz was a border bridge and closed because of the division of Germany within Germany. Today it connects an old with a new federal state and offers interesting views of the former border river Wakenitz, which slowly flows under it.
It is a moving feeling when you walk the short distance over this little bridge and think about how far apart, over almost five decades, the distance between these two river banks once was.
