The Hoxeler Viaduct (also known as "Ennisch Breck") is a truly impressive relic of the Hunsrückquerbahn railway: 8 stone arches, approximately 160 m long and around 42 m high – a perfect photo spot overlooking the Herchenbach valley. 📸 The best views can be found on the "viaduct loop" or along the 10th stage of the Saar-Hunsrück Trail (Erbeskopf → Morbach).

The Hoxeler Viaduct is 160m long and rises 42m above the Herchenbach valley floor. Since the route was used for military purposes in World War II, the bridge was bombed in 1944 and was impassable for several years. Numerous bomb craters in the valley, which have since become small biotopes, still bear witness to the bombing.

If I hadn't gotten lost on the way, the bridge would not have been visible. So take care...
