Ferdinandstein Vista Point view of Bastei Bridge
@kuhrmarvin
One of the most spectacular locations in Germany, this incredible bridge is perched on top of sandstone rocks that overlook jagged boulders and a colorful landscape. The bridge also has a centuries-old, medieval history that's withstood the test of time — the original structure was built in the 1800s and it still stands tall to this day.
Capture the bridge from an elevated vista point to see how after hundreds of years, the rock-carved passageway is still one of the country's most memorable sights.
