The old railway bridge has deteriorated in recent years. In 2025-2026, it was replaced by a modern, wide cycle and pedestrian bridge with benches, resting on the old bridge piers of the former railway bridge.

A beautifully landscaped biotope right next to the bike path. Numerous bird species 🐧 can be observed here, especially in spring. There's also a beautiful view of Gleiberg Castle 🏰.
