A beautiful section of the former railway line with a preserved stone arch bridge. A great piece of railway history that can be discovered by cyclists today. 🧱🚂

One of the special sights along the Eselradweg. The historic covered bridge over the Saale is a great photo opportunity and definitely worth a short stop. 🌉📸
