Ziemestal Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Simply amazing! A great destination for a railway embankment hike from Ziegenrück. 1 viaduct and 3 tunnels and then this bridge! The hike on the railway tracks with the dark tunnels is also great for the kids.

October 28, 2024,Ziemestalbrücke – Wysburg Runde von Liebschütz
I took the route from Komoot. It leads you safely into the valley and to the bridge and then back to Liebschütz. The first half includes the Ziemestal Bridge, the Wysburg and the Oetterbach valley, which you follow to the reservoir. On the way back you have to climb again to get to the starting point. The circuit is really …

Today's hike took us from Liebschütz to the Ziemestal Bridge, a very interesting structure.
We continued over the Grosser Otterbach and then steeply uphill to a historical

Remptendorf. Then we went downhill again into the beautiful Ottergrund past the mill in the direction of the Saale.
The rest of the tour, to Liebschütz, was …

Beautiful hike from Liebschütz to the Ziemestal Bridge and then on to Wysburg. The Ziemestal Bridge is an ingenious structure, but unfortunately the route is closed. The hiking trails are partly overgrown with grass, but this shouldn't bother hikers. It's just more strenuous. Arrived at Wysburg where the floor plan is shown. Otherwise, a lot of money has been invested …

I've always wanted to go to the Ziemestalbrücke, I really recommend it. Impressive building in the middle of the forest. 👍
