What you'll see
A stone bridge of red sandstone arches across the Neckar, entered through a gate with two white towers topped by pointed helmets, and a bronze monkey statue that people touch for luck.
A brief history
The stone bridge dates from the 1780s and replaced a string of wooden ones that ice and floods kept destroying.
