Itinerary description
You do need to by fairy fit to get up to the top, its an hour of steep climbing at out pace, we are fast walkers. Save your lunch for the top where you can sit and admire the bridge.
The bridge wobbles slightly but feels sturdy, nothing to be afraid about walking across. Oh, and its free! :)
There is a nice place for beer , coffee , food back down in Randa

Randa
Start of the walk. Turn right out of the train station and then left up the hill through the quaint wooden buildings
Bridge

Arrival at the Bridge
Finally arrived, this is the approach going anti clockwise, if you follow my advise you'll do it clockwise and arrive at the bridge from the other side

CLOCKWISE
This is the point where you decide which way round to do the walk. We turned right here but I recommend going straight up as the the route back down is less rocky and following this route up you can use the rocks as steps. So don't go right here!! :)
Provisioning
4,715 ft
Beer, Coffee and food
This was a very welcome stop on the way back, Good prices, good quality and friendly. Also there were no other opportunities for beer / coffee on this walk.
