Gugel Bridge is a picturesque covered bridge spanning the Cass River in the heart of Frankenmuth. Built in 1980 as a replica of the original 19th-century bridge, it features a classic wooden truss design and a red-painted exterior that evokes a bygone era. Visitors can walk or drive across the bridge, enjoying views of the river and the surrounding Bavarian-style architecture. It's a favorite spot for photographers, especially in autumn when the foliage frames the bridge. The bridge connects the main shopping district to the riverfront park, making it a convenient and charming passage.
Don't miss

- Capture photos of the bridge reflected in the Cass River, especially at sunset.
- Combine a visit with a stroll along the riverfront park for scenic views.
