Traveler reviews
Heather Boswick
★★★★★Edited a year agoThis is a beautiful view! It is worth checking out while in Strasbourg! The bride is beautiful, lots of historic charming buildings & a wisteria covered house that’s right next to the bridge. Bring your camera- very photogenic!!!
Joseph A. Buendia
★★★★★4 months agoThis covered bridge is actually a dam, an ancient water conservancy project and fortification, though it's currently under renovation. Above the dam is a long covered walkway, normally decorated with stone carvings, but these have been removed and are now displayed inside the walkway due to the ongoing repairs. It's approximately 400 meters long and can be traversed on foot or by bicycle.
