Marienbrücke, Footbridge in Schwangau, Germany.
The metal bridge spans 35 meters across the Pollat Gorge, connecting pedestrian paths at 90 meters above the cascading waters below.
Built in 1866 by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Nürnberg, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure commissioned by King Maximilian II of Bavaria in 1845.
The bridge bears the name of Queen Marie of Prussia, featuring the original 1866 railings and architectural elements that reflect 19th-century German engineering.
Visitors can reach the bridge via a 45-minute uphill walk from parking lot P4 or take a shuttle bus service for 3.50 euros per person.
The bridge structure incorporates engineering techniques developed by Heinrich Gottfried Gerber that enabled construction without additional support braces at high altitude.
