Wiehltal bridge

The Wiehltal Bridge extends 705 meters across the valley, rising 60 meters above ground with a width of 30.25 meters for vehicle traffic.

The bridge construction reached completion in 1971, establishing a vital connection between Cologne and Olpe on the A4 motorway in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The bridge location within Naturpark Bergisches Land provides access to regional hiking trails that connect local communities through the natural landscape.

Visitors can reach the bridge through intermediate hiking paths starting from Ründeroth Church or following the route along the Agger River.

In 2004, a truck accident caused substantial damage requiring extensive repairs costing 32 million euros and leading to a complete bridge reconstruction.
