Elbschetalbahn Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

I could imagine such a structure would be unaffordable these days, given the construction costs. It's crazy, but anyone with a soft spot for it will get their money's worth. It's flat, I know...

Old Witten-Gedern railway bridge on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Bridge

A particularly beautiful place on a very beautiful section of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. The old railway bridge and the tunnels as well as the view of the Ruhr meadows are worth a look even after the 100th time.
