    Tips

    The Eltertal viaduct near Pirk is one of the largest and most impressive stone arch bridges in Europe. The arches were erected from 1938 to 1940, then the work was stopped due to World War II. Since the bridge was located directly on the inner-German border (direction Hof) during the GDR era, construction was not continued until 1990. The viaduct was visible from afar as an unfinished curiosity in the landscape. In the course of reunification, the bridge was completed between 1990 and 1993. All joints between the natural stone blocks had to be re-pressed. The most beautiful view of the viaduct is from Geilsdorf from the so-called "beautiful view"!
