This old railway bridge in pink sandstone, located on the route of the former railway line between Bonfol (Switzerland) and Pfetterhouse, is today a charming part of the cycle route on the Altmühlenweg trail. The bridge was rebuilt to allow cyclists and hikers to pass safely and is a tangible reminder of the time when Pfetterhouse was a strategic border station between France, Germany and Switzerland. From 1871 to 1914, it was the "tri-border point" of Europe, and during the First World War the Western Front began here at the so-called Kilometre Zero.
