An old-fashioned bridge and street lined with pretty houses dating back to the Renaissance.

The Krämerbrücke, or merchants bridge, formed part of the Via Regia - the main highway across Europe in the Middle Ages. The bridge itself dates back to at least the 13th century. It was originally a wooden structure that burned down and was replaced by a more robust structure, with merchant houses on either side. Over the years further structural work has been undertaken - and some was evident at the time of our visit. There is no doubt this is a tourist attraction and the businesses on the bridge reflect this in their nature and prices for goods. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit, crossing the bridge and then perhaps returning by one of the two adjacent bridges from which there is a good view of the bridge and the buildings. When on the bridge, one is unaware it is a bridge as there are no spaces between the buildings. Adjacent to the bridge are outside seating areas which are surprisingly quiet and peaceful. A good place to spend an hour or two just being.

Maybe it isn't really like the Ponte Vecchio in Venice, but it surely houses a lovely street of interesting shops and buildings, most of which are still lived in (upstairs). Well worth a walk and there are also nice restaurants justb after passing by.
