Ziemestalbrücke, Railway bridge in Remptendorf, Germany
Description
The Ziemestalbrücke is a railway viaduct that spans across a valley with five steel pillars supporting its curved structure. The bridge rises considerably above the forest floor and follows a gentle curve as it carries the former track over the terrain.
History
This railway viaduct was completed in 1894 and formed part of a major rail connection in the region. Engineers chose steel as the primary material to create a stable and durable structure.
Culture
The bridge takes its name from the valley it crosses, and it remains a defining feature of the local landscape today. Hikers and railway enthusiasts visit to experience the engineering achievement up close.
Practical
The viaduct is reachable via hiking trails that run through the forest or follow the old railway grounds. Several starting points for walks are available in the surrounding area from which you can visit the bridge.
Did you know?
The bridge curves at a radius of about 193 meters with a 2 percent gradient, which allowed trains to travel at higher speeds. This curved design was an innovative solution for navigating the hilly terrain.
