Imagine standing on one of the largest stone arch bridges in the world. Look up and you’ll see the massive arch stretching a remarkable 90 meters across. This bridge, where you now stand, opened in 1903 and was considered an engineering marvel at the time. To your left, catch a glimpse of the picturesque Syratal stretching beneath you, perhaps you can hear the gentle flow of the Syrabach below. Did you know this bridge was nearly destroyed during World War II? Fortunately, it survived, continuing to share its story with all who walk across it. Behind you, to the south, rises the striking tower of the Herz-Jesu-Kirche, perhaps tempting you to go and explore it next.
