The Drusus Bridge owes its name to the Roman general Drusus, who is said to have built the first wooden bridge over the Nahe. It probably originated in the decade before Christ's birth, but was probably in a different location. At that time, Drusus fortified the left bank of the Rhine border of the Roman Empire by building fortifications and may have had a convenient path built across the Nahe. The wooden bridge was destroyed in 70 AD. The current stone bridge is a construction from the 11th century.

A great starting point for hikes towards the Rhine or the Hunsrück region. Free parking (as of January 2026) and plenty of it. Very limited dining options.
