    Imposing structure near Eifa. Old railway bridge, not accessible. Overgrown.

      A vault bridge 230 meters long and 30 meters high. It is a non-reinforced bridge, brick powder was added to the concrete mass in order to achieve the desired properties. Through the vault principle, the forces of the bridge were diverted, just like in church vaults of the Middle Ages. Since Germany was in the construction phase during World War I, the steel was probably needed for armaments. A second bridge at Eifa-Hardtmühle was dismantled in 1992.
