Geierlay, Pedestrian suspension bridge in Hunsrück, Germany
The Geierlay bridge stretches 360 meters across the Mörsdorf valley, rising 100 meters above the ground between Sosberg and Mörsdorf villages.
Built in 2015 by Swiss engineer Hans Pfaffen, the Geierlay bridge follows construction principles of Nepalese suspension bridges across mountain valleys.
The bridge forms part of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, a 410-kilometer hiking trail that connects numerous cultural landmarks throughout western Germany.
Visitors can access the bridge through the information center in Mörsdorf, which provides parking facilities, restrooms, and a restaurant for tourists.
The steel structure weighs 57 tons and accommodates up to 50 tons, allowing 600 people to cross simultaneously over the Mörsdorfer Bach stream.
