This is the only bicycle-friendly Lahn crossing between the northern Lollar (where the cycle path simply ends at the end of the bridge) and the cycle path from Wismar to Gießen, on the edge of the busy "Wißmarer Weg" (3km downstream, at the level of the Launsbacher Lakes).

Maybe some of you are interested in her story:
The former railway bridge was originally part of the “Cannon Railway”. This was built before the founding of the German Empire, bypassing the city of Giessen (as it did not belong to Prussia) as a rail connection from Berlin to the west. The name said it all. It was actually about ensuring state-owned military logistics. Wetzlar was a junction of the cannon railway. The Lollar - Wetzlar section was officially opened on October 15, 1878.
The Kanonenbahn branched off to the west onto its own route in Lollar and met the Lahntalbahn in Wetzlar, on which it continued west.

An old relic from the railroad era. The disused rails are still there. But the bridge is very valuable because it is the only way to cross the Lahn in this area ... otherwise some detours would be necessary!

Wißmar railway bridge (pedestrian and cyclist bridge). The Lahn flowing through here is exceptionally fast flowing at the point. I'm through with the canoe here. Top.
