This bridge isn't just a crossing over the Regnitz River; it's part of an ensemble that tells Bamberg's story. Look to your right, and you'll notice the distinctive bridge figure, an integral part of this cultural monument. Just a bit further northeast, you'll find the Sammlung Ludwig, another gem of the city.
