The Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) is a 12th-century bridge that spans the Danube, connecting the old town with Stadtamhof. Built over 800 years ago, it was considered a wonder of its time. Today, it's a pedestrian-only bridge, perfect for a leisurely stroll. As you walk across, you'll see the medieval gate towers and enjoy sweeping views of the river, the cathedral spires, and the historic buildings along the waterfront. The bridge is especially beautiful at sunset when the light warms the stone. Small cafes and shops line the approach, making it a lively spot. It's a favorite for photographers and history buffs alike.
