The Salzlandkreis wants to boost water tourism.
Seven new footbridges along the Saale should help with this.
Bernburg - To give more momentum to water tourism, the Salzlandkreis is relying on new jetties along the Saale.
They will make it easier to get in and out of boats in the future, it was said on Tuesday at the start of construction for the seven systems.
These are between 21 and 70 meters long and 2.50 meters wide.
They should be built from sustainable materials, it said.
Only in Könnern is the footbridge made of solid concrete due to local conditions.
Further footbridges are being built in Alsleben, Großwirschleben, Gröna, Calbe and Nienburg.
After clearing work, a construction time of three months is estimated for each location.
In total, the tourism construction project costs 2.5 million euros - the state is said to be covering 90 percent of the costs.
