König-Albert-Brücke

Highlight • Bridge

The King Albert Bridge is one of 15 bridges that cross the Karl Heine Canal. However, you don't ride your bike over it, but rather through one of the three arches directly under the bridge.
Despite the graffiti, the bridge is a listed building because it is already 140 years old.
