History


It has been documented that there was a bridge at this location as early as 1458. The name „Kummabrug“ is seen for the first time in documents dating back to 1514.

The relevance of the bridge as a link between the village of Hittisau with the then independent village of Bolgenach and its high pastures in the Leckner Valley is recorded in documents from 1911. It is also important to the community of Hittisau to preserve this example of handicraft culture. They bore the costs of extensive renovations to the bridge in 1996.
