Great excursion destination near the hall. A bit difficult access, but when you reach the top you will be rewarded with a great reconstructed castle complex. A real insider tip in the region was created with great attention to detail.

Ziemestal Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Simply amazing! A great destination for a railway embankment hike from Ziegenrück. 1 viaduct and 3 tunnels and then this bridge! The hike on the railway tracks with the dark tunnels is also great for the kids.

Stopover in Thuringia.
Today we wanted to take a look at the Lost Places Ziemestalbrücke.
The Ziemestal Bridge is a 115 meter long and 32 meter high viaduct on the Triptis–Marxgrün railway line in Thuringia, which was built between 1893 and 1895. It leads on five scaffolding pillars in a slight arc over the Ziemesgrund between Ziegenrück, Altenbeuthen and Remptendorf. …

The Ziemestal Bridge has been on the to-do list for what feels like an eternity...

A nice forest tour, a few sporting activities were required again, under and over trees across the path. 😁
But the path was still passable. 🤗
Where nothing would have worked, the path has already been sawn clear.
