Hiking

The Kettwig railway bridge is a steel truss bridge located in Essen-Kettwig. It spans the Ruhr River at river kilometer 22.1 (from the mouth) and carries the Ruhr Valley Railway across the river. It forms the eastern boundary of Lake Kettwig, which was created in 1950. Then as now, a five-arched viaduct connects to the steel bridge on its southern side.
