EN: This simple wooden footbridge is located on a hiking trail north of Simplon Dorf. The Simplon Panoramic Trail leads from the hospice to the village Simplon, east of the pass road and high above it. This stage takes about four and a half hours, the bridge is located approximately in the middle of the track.

The bridge has only a railing, but this is additionally provided with a wire fence, as this is also the border of a sheep enclosure.
