Mercedes-Brücke

The Mercedes-Brücke is a pedestrian bridge that crosses above the confluence of the Grundlseertraun and Altausseertraun rivers while forming the shape of a Mercedes star. The structure spans about 27 meters and allows visitors to look down at the river and surrounding landscape from multiple vantage points.

The bridge was completed in spring 2005 through a partnership between local authorities and Mercedes-Benz Corporation. This project combined engineering expertise with brand recognition, creating a distinctive link between commerce and regional infrastructure.

The bridge serves as a meeting point within the spa park, where people gather to view and photograph the river landscape below. Its distinctive shape has made it a recognizable landmark for the area.

The bridge is accessible year-round and offers good viewing spots at multiple levels to observe the rivers and surrounding area. Visitors should choose the right time of day and clear weather to fully appreciate the star shape or take photos.

The bridge was designed so that its overall shape resembles the Mercedes star logo when viewed from above, making it one of Europe's largest three-dimensional brand symbols. This unusual fusion of infrastructure and brand design attracts many visitors who want to photograph this distinctive feature.
