Best Hikes to Kerkerbach Railway Bridge

Tips

  • As a meter gauge railway, the Kerkerbachbahn had a route length of 35 km and ran at a maximum speed of 25 km per hour. It drove from Dehrn to Mengerskirchen and was founded on May 12, 1884 as a stock corporation.
    In 1887, a narrow-gauge branch line for transporting people and goods was built and operated between Dehrn and Heckholzhausen, which connected to the standard-gauge Prussian State Railways with a track width of 1435 mm in Kerkerbach. The narrow-gauge railway was supposed to transport ore, limestone, Lahn marble, basalt and clay there so that they could be transported on the standard gauge of the Prussian State Railway in the direction of Limburg or Giessen.
    The railways thus ran on three rails from Dehrn to Kerkerbach.

  • It's a shame that the bridge isn't provided with latticework and a railing.
