Wildline Bridge, Bad Wildbad, Germany
Just cross the bridge... Many brave visitors were happy to be protected by a railing of Webnet on this suspension bridge.
They call the Wildline Bridge in Black Forrest the "Bridge of the Brave". Why? You will realize it when you have taken the first steps on the bridge yourself and the suspension bridge starts to sway slightly. Then even hardened visitors are grateful for the handrails made by Webnet.
The construction of the bridge adds to the excitement: it is the only bridge of its kind in Europe with an upward suspension, which means that it is mounted towards the center. If you walk on the bridge, you have to take a step into the unknown, as you do not see the opposite end, but only a little uphill to the highest point. For the bridge's initiator Günter Eberhard, this is the main point: "In this way, new and exciting insights and views open up again and again."
Once at the center, the visitor stands almost 60 meters above the ground. If you still feel a little uncomfortable, it is recommended that you get down on your knees, take a deep breath and do not look down through the grate, but enjoy the view. The view of this idyllic valley in the Black Forest with more than one hundred year old fir trees.
Thanks to the stainless steel mesh, visitors can enjoy these moments without worries. The elegant mesh contributes to the sleek bridge design and acts as a railing. Safety and durability were the main criteria for choosing Webnet, as it is extremely weather resistant even to strong winds and temperature changes. Thanks to its flexibility, the mesh can adapt to the vibrations of the bridge. And the unparalleled transparency provides a clear view for visitors in wheelchairs and children in strollers, who can also experience the gentle rocking.
