Jauntalbrücke, Railway bridge in Ruden, Austria
The Jauntalbrücke stretches 429 meters across the Drau River valley, standing 96 meters high as one of Europe's tallest railroad bridges.
Construction of the bridge began in November 1959 after extensive ground investigations, requiring 20,000 cubic meters of concrete and 1,760 tons of structural steel.
The bridge connects the communities of Bleiburg and St. Paul, serving as a vital transportation link in the Carinthia region of Austria.
The 2023 modernization project upgraded the structure to accommodate dual tracks and electrical systems for trains reaching speeds of 250 kilometers per hour.
Since 1991, the bridge has recorded over 40,000 bungee jumps from its structure, establishing itself as a regional adventure sports destination.
