The Payerbach Viaduct is an impressive structure on the Semmering Railway and a real photo opportunity on your tour. With its high arches, it spans the valley dramatically and demonstrates how spectacularly engineering can be integrated into the landscape. It looks particularly beautiful in the morning or late afternoon, depending on the light.

The Schwarza Viaduct is an imposing structure and a great photo opportunity along the route. Its high arches are particularly impressive when you walk underneath or alongside it. A short stop is worthwhile to take in its dimensions and its location above the Schwarza River.
