Old Town Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Görlitz Altstadtbrücke bridge is mentioned for the first time in 1298. It was built with wood and had to be renewed again and again, because not only the burden of the commercial caravans paid its tribute, but also fire, floods and the effects of the war.
Today's Old Town Bridge was officially opened on October 20, 2004. Since then, the pedestrian bridge has historically connected the two parts of the European city of Görlitz / Zgorzelec.

Görlitz Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Görlitz is the easternmost city in Germany and lies directly on the border with Poland, which has been formed by the river Neisse since 1945. In 1952, during the German premiere of the peace ride, the cyclists drove here for the first time across the German-Polish border. Also included was GDR cycling legend Gustav Adolf Schur, who rattled as the fastest German on the Görlitz city bridge, also known as the "Bridge of Friendship".

Görlitz has a beautiful, historic old town. With more than 4,000 cultural and architectural monuments, Görlitz is often referred to as the largest contiguous monument area in Germany. In Görlitz you can spend a good night and on request the train will bring you back home.

Kreisbahn Section Ebersbach–Königshain

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's a highlight of the local cycling infrastructure. Built on a former railway embankment, always under shady trees, great asphalt. Unreserved recommendation.
