Hiking
There has been a bridge here since the 1300s, possibly earlier. However, the first written record of the bridge only appears from 1655. The bridge's slabs are over four metres long and two metres wide, meaning that a small car can easily pass. Access from the road is no longer possible since the construction of a newer, wider bridge.
