The Lion's Head Bridge was dismantled in 1992 and rebuilt in 1993 (it's a listed building). This is evident from the approximately 1 meter of concrete in the lower section. It was necessary because the clearance height was insufficient due to electrification in the 1980s, and the track was lowered, often flooding during rain. It was my construction site in 1993. It's a great place to visit! Regards, EO

Be sure to plan a quick stop at the bakery. After a coffee and a delicious slice of homemade cake, the onward journey will be easier...

Near the castle bridge begins Schloßstraße, which leads into the city center. Schloßstraße follows the course of the historic Klenower Dorfstraße and therefore has a slightly angled shape compared to Schlossplatz. The charming, two-story houses were designed by court architect Busch and feature a uniform eaves alignment. The four individual houses in each block are separated by so-called "Tüschen" – courtyard entrances. Particularly noteworthy are the four plaza-like widenings, enlivened by individual houses and special uses. The streetscape is characterized by vibrant red, unplastered brick buildings adorned with Dutch architectural elements. Come and discover this unique district! Cobblestones everywhere... not for stiletto heels! 🤣🤣
