View of Fort Bard from the bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The origin of this bridge is uncertain, but it was most likely built as early as Roman times. The first documents in which this bridge is mentioned, however, date from the second half of the 13th century. From 1272, the bridge is called the Hôhne Bridge or Bard Bridge in Latin and then in Old French.

Apart from its history, the bridge is a beautiful photo point of Fort Bard.
