The heart beats faster. With every step. The sky above, the Todtnau waterfalls below.
You look down on the tops of the mighty Black Forest pines. You can feel that tingle. First in your stomach, then in your whole body. Nature so close and yet so far away.
Some facts about the suspension bridge

Look forward to this new adventure in the Todtnau mountain world of the black forest!
Please note that it is not forbidden to take a dog with you, but the wire mesh of the bridge makes it difficult for many dogs to cross.
We would also like to make it possible for people in wheelchairs or with strollers to visit us every day, not just on certain days or at certain times. However, access for wheelchairs and baby carriages is only possible at the west end of the bridge (at the Visitor Center / Sommerberg side) and only during the Visitor Center's opening hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily until the end of October). The staff on site will let the wheelchairs/strollers onto the bridge through a separate entrance and off the bridge on the same side. The number of wheelchairs/strollers is limited, so there may be a short wait.
