Hiddo-Steg pedestrian bridge over the Jeetzel

Highlight • Bridge

From the Hiddo jetty you have a beautiful view of the Elbe and Jeetzel. Its striking height characterizes the cityscape and allows larger vessels to navigate the river.
The wooden bridge was named after the Frisian knight Hiddo Kauchen.
