These border bridges impressed me greatly.

The history of the bridge in Altach is a fascinating example of infrastructure development that creates crucial connections between communities. For centuries, this bridge was the only link between Oberndorf and Laufen, and also the only crossing over the Salzach River between Salzburg and Tittmoning. The bridge has weathered many floods, which repeatedly destroyed it. Between 1901 and 1903, a new bridge was finally built to meet the needs of the time. In 2006, the construction of the Europasteg bridge marked another step in continuing this historic bridge tradition. The modern footbridge, designed with a length of 131.20 meters, runs slightly offset from the old bridge, offering an interesting perspective on the region's history. At low water, the remains of the old wooden bridge piers are even visible, testifying to the bridge's long construction history and humanity's resilience in the face of natural forces. This new footbridge stands not only as an architectural masterpiece but also as a symbol of the connection and unity between the two banks and the communities they serve.
