I don't think the bridge is broken. It's just that the railing is missing on one side. But I'm not sure if that's intentional.

Small trails lead you through the forest, past streams, over small bridges and along slopes. It's fun!

Schönecken Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 467 m above sea level above the municipality of the same name, Schönecken, in the Nimstal in the western Eifel (Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm) in Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle stood on the lowest ridge in the middle of a valley. The complex is protected by higher mountains on all sides. The Schönecken castle ruins are also called "Bella Costa" or "Clara Costa".

Pilgrim cross of the St. Matthias Brotherhood (SMB) Kleinenbroich. These pilgrim signs of the brotherhoods can be found everywhere on the Lower Rhine and in the Eifel on their way to Trier.
