Mintard Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Shooting Mintarder Straße with the RR is always nice. Can be very crowded on weekends in good weather. During the week at rush hour anyway.

Sengenholzer Bridge (Niederbergbahn Viaduct)

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is one of the most beautiful places on the entire route tour. The view is wonderful and the viaduct is simply an impressive structure. The descent is particularly recommended when you rush quickly over the bridge.
