Dunkeltalbrücke

Dunkeltalbrücke, Railway bridge in Goldisthal, Germany

The Dunkeltalbrücke is a railway bridge that crosses a valley near Goldisthal and was built as a reinforced concrete arch structure. The structure connects two hillsides and allows rail traffic to pass through the mountainous landscape of Southern Thuringia.

Construction began in 2010 as part of the Nuremberg-Erfurt high-speed railway project and was completed in 2013. This project enabled a direct and efficient rail connection through the region's complex terrain for the first time.

The bridge represents German engineering excellence in railway infrastructure, connecting major urban centers through the mountainous region of Southern Thuringia.

The structure is easily visible from the nearby A71 highway and the surrounding area of Goldisthal. Visitors can photograph and view it from various vantage points around the region.

The shape of the pillars is distinctive: they taper upward, giving the structure a slender appearance. This design not only reduces weight but also creates an elegant profile against the sky.
