Ziemestalbrücke

The Ziemestalbrücke extends 115 meters in length and rises 32 meters above the Ziemes valley, featuring five steel support pillars and a curved design.

Engineers completed the railway bridge construction in 1894, selecting steel as the primary material due to the high transportation costs of stone at that time.

The bridge represents a significant example of late 19th-century German railway engineering, demonstrating the industrial advancement of the Triptis-Marxgrün railway line.

Visitors can access the bridge location through forest paths or along the former railway track, with hiking routes available from multiple starting points.

The bridge structure incorporates a tilted bridge head and curves at a 193-meter radius with a 2 percent gradient to accommodate higher train speeds.
