Old railway viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

At a lofty height, an old railway viaduct leads right through the gorge - and on the other side the Vía Verde disappears into a tunnel again.

December 29, 2024,🇪🇦 🚴‍♀️ Vía Verde - Bahntrassenradweg 📍Tortosa ➡️ 🏁 Bot ↩️

Even if the sun gives a different impression, we had to dress warmly today and the light wind made the whole thing a little cooler. We cycled on the two sections of the well-developed railway line cycle path Vía Verde del Baix Ebre and Vía Verde de la Terra Alta. We started from Tortosa (in Roquetes to be precise). The …

Today it was my "dream tour". Inspired by @Monique_Sunshine 🇱🇺🚴🏻‍♀️🥾, thank you very much for that! 🤩

Start in Tortosa, directly on the Via Verda Braix del Ebre (railway track cycle path), partly on high paths, partly through chiseled rocks, always a little up the hill. Until Benifallet, a lot of the Ebro with a view. Then it goes alternately …

No swim …

Weekend route in general easy, take into account the outward route that can be a bit hard if there is a headwind, luckily it caught us going down. The Fontcalda spa is an obligatory stop to refresh the body on the way back. Route to do quietly without haste.
Carrying lights is essential because most of the tunnels are not …
