Arnulfsteg, Footbridge in Maxvorstadt and Schwanthalerhöhe districts, Munich, Germany
The Arnulfsteg is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that crosses over railway tracks, connecting several Munich neighborhoods. The structure spans about 240 meters and provides an elevated pathway above the railway infrastructure.
This modern bridge was built and opened in 2020 to close a longtime gap in connections between the neighborhoods. The project was part of Munich's effort to improve urban mobility.
The bridge has become part of daily routines for commuters who cross the railway tracks on foot or by bike every day. It serves as a natural connector between neighborhoods that were previously separated by infrastructure.
Two elevators provide easy access for people with mobility needs and make crossing practical for strollers or cargo as well. The bridge is available at any time for pedestrians and cyclists, and sturdy footwear works well on its level surface.
From the bridge you get a rare view of the railway tracks and train movements that are normally hidden from below. This elevated perspective reveals the complex traffic infrastructure that runs beneath the city.
