Historic Bible Covered Bridge — Attraction in Mosheim

This beautiful, covered bridge is a beautiful spot out in the middle of the country. Unfortunately, it is covered inside with graffiti, some of which is very vulgar. It's a shame that some people feel the need to vandalize such a beautiful structure. There is a stone monument next to the parking lot for the bridge that says the following:

The bridge is in excellent condition, recently repainted outside though the inside is sadly graffitied. There is parking nearby and a bench. Not much else and while the bridge is absolutely closed to vehicular traffic, you can walk across. I don't know if the water is safe...

The Bible Covered Bridge is a great site. We enjoyed seeing and exploring it.
