June 26, 2026, View From Geierlay Suspension Bridge

Walking 360 meters floating above the valley is simply a special experience. The view is fantastic and the slight swaying of the bridge ensures that you definitely notice where you are.

Breathtaking, and a must-see. Unfortunately a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip! Worth mentioning: There's a toilet trailer at Annette Bridge!

There are also several recommended hikes around the famous Geierley Bridge. In the valley below the bridge, there are two wooden wave loungers where you can not only take a break, but also enjoy a wonderful view of the famous suspension bridge.

If you're expecting an exciting hiking trail, you'll be somewhat disappointed. Only a few sections of the trail are beautiful. The rest is boring. The highlight is undoubtedly the bridge.

If you want to avoid the many visitors who cross the bridge in procession, especially when the weather is nice, you should be at the bridge by 10:00 a.m. at the latest. The bridge can be accessed from both directions and there are several wooden benches and wooden loungers at the entrance points so you can enjoy this impressive masterpiece of engineering.
