Landwasser Viaduct “142-meter-long and 65-meter-high bridge piers”
The 142-meter-long Landwasser Viaduct is the landmark of the Rhaetian Railway. The viaduct sweeps gracefully across the Landwasser Valley, leading directly into the rugged rock face and the Landwasser Tunnel. The Landwasser Viaduct's distinctive feature is its six closely spaced, 65-meter-high bridge piers, each with a span of only 20 meters. “Built in 1901–02”

Landwasser Viaduct (near Filisur station)
The Landwasser Viaduct is a 65-meter-high and long railway bridge.
Its pillars rise majestically 65 meters into the air: The Landwasser Viaduct on the Albula line allows the Rhaetian Railway to travel 141.7 meters over the roaring Landwasser River.
In a wide curve, the viaduct leads directly into a steep rock face. This breathtaking structure is now the most photographed subject on the Rhaetian Railway line. But the history of the viaduct's construction is also remarkable:
