The bridge is easy to reach via the dirt road on the north side.
It is clearly visible from the prohibition sign on this page.

Some history about it:
In Emmering we can still find a concrete bridge that has never been in operation for a day. The street mentioned was supposed to cross the railway on it. However, the necessary embankment was no longer available and they were content with a track-like crossing of the lightly traveled stretch of road with the equally unimportant road.
Designed for two tracks, this section was also opened as a single track on October 2, 1939. In contrast to the other sections of the north ring, the later addition of the second track was dispensed with. The importance of the Olching Ost - Steinwerk section remained very low. Even during World War II, freight traffic on the Allgäu Railway was insignificant, and the northern marshalling yard to which it would have been directed did not yet exist.
This route only plays a macabre role in contemporary history. Precisely because of its limited use, the track at the stone works near Emmering could be used on April 25, 1945 for the erection of freight wagons, into which 3000 predominantly Jewish prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp or its Kaufering branch were loaded after terrible marches. Due to the rapid advance of the Americans, the victims could not be transported further to an imaginary Alpine fortress, for example. The survivors were freed in Seeshaupt. (according to: Süddeutsche Zeitung, Fürstenfeldbrucker SZ, April 30th / May 1st, 2005) "

In the middle of the forest is a bridge used by climbers.

There is no clear path to the bridge. Anyone who has fought their way through the undergrowth will come across a monumental structure that is partially sunk into the ground. Trees and bushes grow on it, and nature is reclaiming the functional building.
The Hitler Bridge was part of the so-called North Ring in the Third Reich.
The bridge was built in 1939 as an overpass for the road over tracks that were part of Munich's North Ring for freight traffic. Hitler, in his madness, wanted to create a mega freight station on a 141-meter-high dome at the Friedenheim Bridge in Munich. Nothing came of it. The name Hitler Bridge was never officially given.
The tracks were hardly used and were dismantled after the war. At the end of the war, a prisoner transport is said to have stopped at the bridge. According to stories, the SS drove prisoners out of a wagon. Whether they were concentration camp prisoners is unknown.
The brown period is long gone and must not return. 🙏🏻

Allegedly part of a formerly planned Reichsautobahn.
