The suspension footbridge in the Hag nature reserve is located adjacent to the old town of Hirschberg, which is located in the Thuringian Slate Mountains Upper Saale Nature Park region.

The suspension footbridge, a steel structure anchored in the rock, is the quickest way to reach the idyllic Hag from Hirschberg's old town. The Hag, the wooded rock face, stretches from the steep cliffs of the Lohberg over the castle terrace on the slopes of the Saale. It was a unique mixture of deciduous and coniferous forest. The Hag was already a popular excursion destination in the 1920s and 1930s and, thanks to the new primeval forest trail, is still a popular destination for the people of Hirschberg and their guests today.
