Marienbrücke, Observation bridge near Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
The metal footbridge spans 35 meters across the Pollat Gorge, positioned 90 meters above a waterfall near Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria.
King Ludwig II replaced the original wooden structure with an iron bridge in 1866, naming it after Queen Marie of Bavaria.
The Marienbrucke serves as a primary photography location for visitors capturing images of Neuschwanstein Castle against the Alpine landscape.
Visitors reach the bridge through a 40-minute uphill walk from parking lot P4, or by taking a shuttle bus to Neuschwanstein Castle.
The bridge construction marked the first successful implementation of cantilever assembly without supporting scaffolding at such heights in engineering history.
