    Hiking

    The engineers performed exemplary pioneering work in railway construction on the largest structure of the "Schiefen Ebene" (Slope Plane). The dam crest is 32 meters above the "Schützengraben" side valley. From here, the inward-curving profile of the dam is clearly visible.

    The railway bridge no. VII is the largest of the Inclined Plane and something like the "landmark". It has a height of 44 meters.

    It's often humid here too. Thanks to space, however, the water is routed separately from the sidewalk on the inside.
