Guided Story

Feel the gentle breeze coming off the Aurach? Imagine, over 230 years ago, carriages clattering over this bridge, the sound of hooves echoing on the stones. Look to your left, towards the old Klostermühle. That mill has witnessed so much, just like the bridge beneath your feet. Behind you, further west, stands the Klosterkirche St. Matthäus, whose bells once welcomed travelers. Turn around slowly and take in the stone arches of the bridge. They've stood the test of time, witnessing floods and peaceful days alike. Walk across, and let the blend of history and present seep into your senses.
