Main inspection of the Pleiner Viaduct on the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route

Plein Viaduct, length 98 meters, height above valley 31 meters

Unkenstein Tunnel, length 140 meters

Grünewald Tunnel, length 124 meters

The Pleiner Viaduct consists of a five-span arch bridge. The structure is located on the Hasborn - Wittlich section of the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route.

The viaduct, first built in 1910, demolished in 1945, and rebuilt in 1953, is approximately 98 meters long, approximately 31 meters high, and 4.65 meters wide between the railings. It was built on site using reinforced concrete, and the piers, abutments, and side elevations were clad in sandstone. However, the structural concrete is exposed in the arch undersides.

After the railway line was closed by Deutsche Bahn in 1984, the tracks were dismantled in 1989. Before the structure was reopened as part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path in 1998, it was completely renovated.

The Wengerohr – Daun railway is a former branch line in Rhineland-Palatinate. It connected Wengerohr station (today Wittlich Hauptbahnhof) on the Moselle route with Daun station on the Eifelquerbahn.

The line was single-track and never electrified. It was largely dismantled; the Maare-Mosel cycle path now runs along its route.
