The new, now barrier-free Cloud Castle suspension bridge was inaugurated on May 1, 2017. It replaces a narrower bridge that is not as high above the water, which was badly damaged during the 2013 flood. In addition to the Thierbach-Zinnberg suspension bridge, the bridge enables the Wolkenburg Mulderundweg and the hiking trail to the Hauboldfelsen from Wolkenburg Castle.
