Access to the bridge is fairly easy during the winter months. In summer it is better to wear long trousers and the approach can also be made through tall grass if it has not been mowed shortly beforehand.

Formerly used railway bridge made of riveted steel over the Löbauer Wasser. Well preserved.
The Görlitz – Weißenberg railway was a branch line in what is now the Free State of Saxony. It was originally built and operated by Görlitzer Kreisbahn A.G., a small railway with a Prussian license based in Görlitz. The line began in Görlitz in its own train station and went west through the Königshain Mountains via Königshain to Weißenberg, where it merged with the Löbau – Radibor railway line.
The standard-gauge line began at the Rauschwalder Strasse small train station - 1.3 km from the Görlitz state train station - and crossed the then Prussian district of Görlitz in a westerly direction. Scheduled passenger traffic began on June 1, 1905 and led via Königshain to Krischa-Tetta. However, as early as March 20, granite had been transported away by freight trains; because in addition to the general development function, the railway was indispensable for the transport of the granite stones extracted in the Königshain mountains, which were used for buildings in distant cities.
After operations ceased in 1972, an association made efforts to set up museum traffic on the route. Parked dilapidated wagons on the railway station in Königshain-Hochstein still bear witness to this project today.
