Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle flow of the Neisse below? This bridge you're standing on is more than a crossing between two nations. Imagine, right here, there was once a wooden arch bridge destroyed in World War II. The current Altstadtbrücke, built in 2004, stands as a testament to a united Europe. Look to your left, and you'll spot the grand St. Peter and Paul Church. Behind you, just a short walk away, is the historic Vierradenmühle. And if you gaze eastward, you can glimpse the Plac Pocztowy in Zgorzelec. This bridge whispers tales of separation and reunion – can you feel the history coming alive here?
