Simply worth seeing, simply terrific. The Göltzschtalbrücke is the highest stone bridge in the world. You have to let that work on you. You can't stop being amazed.

The Göltzschtal Bridge is the largest brick bridge in the world.
The viaduct with 29 arches is considered a landmark of the Vogtland and spans the Göltzsch valley between the towns of Mylau and Netzschkau on two tracks on the Leipzig-Hof railway line.
The Saxon-Bavarian Railway Company began building the 78-meter-high arched bridge in 1846, together with the similar but smaller Elstertal Bridge. The following year, the Saxon-Bavarian State Railway took over construction and completed both bridges in 1851. They are therefore among the oldest witnesses to railway history in Germany.
