One of the many monuments commemorating the fall of the German-German border, here with quite fitting, if not very subtle, symbolism.

In the heart of the Rappbode Valley, the "Titan-RT" spans the Bode reservoir with an incredible total length of 458.5 meters. The delicate cable structure was completed in spring 2017 and, with a massive tensile force of 947 tons, claws its way into the slate rocks on both sides of the valley. Four main suspension cables with a diameter of 65 mm form the backbone of the 120-ton structure. In addition, two stabilizing cables keep the bridge in shape—and in position during higher wind speeds. The 120-cm-wide walkway (grating) is lined along its entire length by a 130-cm-high railing and is enclosed on the sides by stainless steel mesh. Highly recommended⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
