We have driven over this bridge countless times. And every time we asked ourselves what it looks like down there.
Since today we are smarter:
A small but fine walk (from the parking lot behind the bridge) through the forest along the Lech to the hydroelectric power station, and back on the other side of the Lech and the Lechtalbrücke.
