Did you know that at night, it glows softly, resembling a sleeping dragon? The artists wanted to breathe life into the old tales of dragons that once roamed the forests here. Behind you, in the distance, is the Halde Hoheward, standing like a green giant watching over the land. This bridge is more than a crossing; it's a journey into a world of stories and myths. Take in the view and let your imagination wander.
