From the bridge you have on one side a great view of the castle Rabenstein and on the other side you can easily see Chemnitz. At the foot of the viaduct you can also enjoy a coffee

The railway viaduct over which the trail leads is one of the first bridges in steel construction. The railway line connected from 1897 to 1951 Oberfrohna and desert fire. According to reports, the rails were demanded by the former Soviet Union as a reparation for war damage caused by Germany, which led to the termination of the railway line. The bridge miraculously stopped. In 1986, the viaduct was listed as a historical monument and then used as a hiking trail.

With this technical masterpiece, our ancestors not only created a structure that is still impressive today, but also laid the foundations for our modern industrial society. In recognition of this, we should do everything we can to preserve such monuments.

The "rust of time" has now eaten away at the structure, and renovation is urgently needed. Since further deterioration is inevitable given the current tight state coffers, committed Rabenstein citizens have decided to raise money to save the viaduct.
