Germany's longest span footbridge opened in 2015 near the small town of Mörsdorf. The Tibet-style span of 360 meters has no towers and follows a natural sag as it crosses high above a forested valley. A loop trail starts in Mörsdorf and leads guests across the bridge and down into a river valley before returning back into the town. | Germany's longest span footbridge opened in 2015 near the small town of Mörsdorf.
