The Old Bridge is a stone bridge in Heidelberg that crosses the Neckar River, and connects the old town to the eastern part of Neuchâtel. The bridge is very popular for tourism lovers in Germany from inside and outside the country, because of its sculptures and statues such as the monkey statue.
The bridge was built from the stones of the Neckar Valley, in 1788 AD by the elected Prince Charles Theodore, and the bridge officially bears its name.
The bridge is a charming destination for the city of Heidelberg, indicating the history of its past. Just as the bridge connects the two banks of the river, it connects the city with its roots.
