After visiting the Cologne Cathedral (Dom), follow the crowd and visit the Hohenzollern Bridge. This famous bridge in Cologne, Germany that was constructed between 1907 and 1911 crosses the Rhine River. You can ride the train to cross it, but walking is the one I would advice you do. You can stop in the middle and watch boats cruising under the bridge. And the most important are the love locks that line the fence of the bridge.  Yes, couples adorned the bridge with locks as a sign of love and commitment.  The total length of the Hohenzollern Bridge is 409.19 meters (1,342.5 ft).

Along the way, you will see an immense statues of Prussian kings and German emperors of the Hohenzollern Family.

The bridge serves as a pedestrian and railway bridge and is one of the busiest in the city. The railway line that runs across the bridge connects Cologne’s main train station with the city’s southern suburbs. Visitors can take a walk across the bridge to enjoy stunning views of the Rhine River and the city skyline, or watch the trains as they pass by.

The Hohenzollern Bridge is also the site of the annual “Cologne Lights” festival, which takes place every year in the summer. During the festival, the bridge is illuminated with a spectacular light show, and thousands of fireworks light up the night sky above the city.

Whether you’re a history buff, a railway enthusiast, or just looking for a romantic spot to take a stroll, the Hohenzollern Bridge is a must-visit destination in Cologne. With its rich history and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder that the bridge has become such an iconic symbol of the city.
