The bridge is useful for visiting the gastronomy of the mill museum - in the traditional costume house you can sit outside in the Sommergut. The path to the Moradahotel on the Ise is more beautiful along the Schlosssee.

One of the points that you should definitely head for on a first bike tour through GF. If there is no time to visit the mill museum (or it is closed again), you can get a good impression from the bridge and great photos of some mills and the Russian church. But the Ise Bridge itself is also a great motif! Numerous break benches nearby
