Best time
Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
The summer and autumn months are the most suitable times to photograph Hängebrücke Klausbauchtal. During this time, the trees will have amazing colors.
As long as it isn't closed down due to weather, you can also visit during the winter months. And although the trees won't have any leaves, you can still produce beautiful imagery with the snow.
I took the image in the late afternoon when the fog was over the mountains. You can get similar conditions during any time of the day, as long as the fog is present.
To avoid tourists, I recommend visiting either early in the morning or later in the day. Please note that the shuttle bus only runs during the day.
Field tips
To more easily capture the forest, bridge and mountains, make sure to use a wide-angle lens. Wider the better!
Position yourself so you're in the center of the bridge and use the structure as a leading line to guide the eye toward the mountains.
If you're hiking with a friend, it's also great to have a person stand in as your model. Having a subject on the bridge can bring a great sense of scale into the image and the mountains will look bigger, too.
