Technical details

Things to know about the bridge

Take your time before you take your first step on the NECKARLINE and enjoy the anticipation. 606 metres of excitement await you, supported by a pylon and anchors in the rocks. The interplay of distinctive architecture and wild nature fascinates not only technology fans. Because the NECKARLINE is much more than just a suspension bridge. It is an expression of planning perfection and craftsmanship. And it stands for unconditional trust in human performance. Because you don’t see at the beginning what awaits you at the end. Because the NECKARLINE explores the limits of statics. Because you sometimes lose the solid ground under your feet when it sways. But don’t worry. It has to be like that. And after a short time you will find your inner balance again. Find out more about the suspension bridge and its technical details such as the weight, the height and the span.
