Herbstein Railway Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Trains once ran over this structure. To the north, they went to Lauterbach to the South Station, which is also no longer served today. To the south, the tracks led into the Oberwald to the ammunition depot.

Today, after a holiday in Saale, Unstrut and Ilm, another tour in my home country. I followed the tour to the Auhof recommended by @Rainer. Very nice tour, on wonderful paths. Unfortunately I couldn't try the advantages of the Auhof, which was open. There was a party at the previous fishing pond, so I took good care of myself

At the Schalksbach pond in the pond house there is a box in which drinks can be taken for a fee. A beautiful facility. The "famous" ice cream shop was open at …
