Either the map is upside down or the position is elsewhere. Or it's one of those mirror selfies (?). Or the highway is incorrectly marked. In any case, a semi-trailer truck fell off the bridge there recently. You're sitting in the middle of nature enjoying the peace and quiet, on the bench, and then something like that happens!

A bridge that was built so that trains can cross the canal. Or ships the railway line. Or cyclists, hikers and female cyclists. Wait... whatever. The riveted historical bridges were renewed, approximately at the beginning of the millennium. A pity, a pity. But hey, they are blue (all)(the bridges) and the Bimmelbahn can zoom over them at full speed.

A pretty wooden bridge over the small stream... the imposing tree right next to the bridge is impressive.
