    Old ingrown viaduct over the Wehre valley in Waldkappel

    The four-arched sandstone viaduct over the weirs and the cycle path is a relic of the Berlin-Coblenzer Railway, better known as the "Kanonenbahn". It was created in the 1870s as part of a strategic military construction project over 800 km in length from Berlin to Metz in France.

    In Waldkappel there are two viaducts of the former cannon railway. The one described here leads on the outskirts of Waldkappel via the cycle path and the weirs.
    After the line was closed to passenger traffic on May 31, 1985, a small locomotive with freight wagons drove to Waldkappel once a week, since the line initially remained open for freight traffic. Goods traffic finally came to an end on January 1, 1993.
