A tour that is enjoyable!
The bridge is very impressive and the Köhlersteig with its 2 Köhlerspitzen has something adventurous about it. It was also worth walking the small curve after the Köhlerspitzen. On the way back, some of the paths were a bit overgrown, but I still managed to get through without🗡🌾🌿🤗
The river (Göltzsch) next door was refreshing …

Used the parking lot with a day ticket for 5 euros so as not to be pressed for time. Great bridge, well signposted paths. Worth seeing is the view from the Köhlerspitzen.
