It's worth a stop! Information boards on both sides of the bridge tell the rich history of both towns. A detour to the historic town center is definitely worthwhile. I especially recommend a visit to the small castle and a climb to the tower (€1). From there, you'll enjoy a fantastic view of the surrounding area and the bridge.

The walkways look really nice... it's a shame that visitors aren't allowed to walk on them.

In midsummer, you can barely see the lake because the reeds are quite high. The boardwalks are rickety and may only be used by members of the local fishing club, but they do offer a beautiful view of the lake.
