Harkortsee Railway Viaduct

Great corner on Hakortsee. And the viaduct is worth at least 1 photo. You can also take a break in Herdecke.

Ruhr Viaduct at Harkort Lake

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a great photo opportunity. You feel like you've gone back in time. If a steam locomotive were to roll over it, the time jump would be perfect. ;)
