Hohenzollern bridge in Cologne

Hi!

I'll be visiting Cologne next september, and would like to know if the Hohenzollern bridge can be used by pedestrians to get to the opposite riverside and watch the amazing view of the Cathedral.

Thanks!

Be sure to use the side of the Kölner Dom, not the other side of the rail tracks.

and do not forget to bring your camera! not only for the stunning view but also for the phenomenal amount of padlocks clicked at the fence of the railway-tracks of the bridge. one lock goes for 1 new couple.
