The southernmost arch of the bridge was destroyed by the flood in June 2021. The bridge can therefore not be used. A few meters further downstream there is a replacement bridge (as of June 2022)

Between Mayschoß and Rech

Highlight (Segment) • River

After the flood disaster in July 2021, the cycle path was also affected. For this reason you have to drive on the road on this section, but this does not affect the view.
