    Tips

    March 28, 2018

    The so-called experimental road is a former military road. Here you walk for about 300 meters over different natural stone, granite and concrete paving along typical field crops (see information board) to the subsequent, consisting of eleven structures bridge complex. Unfortunately, the poor condition of this bridge system is no longer the norm of public roads. There is a high risk potential, therefore follow the floodplain path (small signpost with white arrow), which leads past the bridges on the right about 50 meters over the Altdeich and then turns left into the original floodplain. On this section, surrounded by deadwood, mosses and mushrooms, you can see on the meadow of Solitaire spreading out before you, on the left the old bridge system and at the end you cross a small hornbeam grove. From there, the path leads to the right via a concrete slab path to the "Elbe" sign bridge with a wide view of the river.

      In the 1930s, 11 test bridges and a 1 km long test road were built here as part of the Wehrmacht's rearmament program. Today, the bridges are closed. Further information can be found at phototoniart.de/?page_id=6704.
