Jeetzel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

If you cross the old Jeetzel River, you'll get to the other side. It's okay to walk, but I'd prefer to drive a bit further, where you can easily cross over a road bridge.

Bridge over the Kateminer Bach

Highlight • Bridge

At this point you come directly to the Kateminer Mühlenbach and here he also leads water, so that he deserves the name Bach. In the shade you can rest and cool your feet.
