Tips

Weißeritz Bridge km 2,941
"The four bridges were built in solid construction as stone arch bridges in 1881. The low tensile masses enabled a comparatively slim, shapely construction, which to this day meets the increasing demands of railway operations.
The bridge after the former tunnel at Einsiedlerfelsen at km 3.196 was completely torn away in the 2002 flood. In the course of 2008 it was rebuilt in a similar form as a reinforced concrete structure with natural stone facing. "

One of many bridges, sometimes you are even lucky and the narrow-gauge railway drives over it.

With a bit of luck you can see the Weißeritztalbahn driving over it 👍
