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.

August 17, 2024,2. Aktivtour DIMB IG Thüringer Meer🚵🏼‍♂️🚵🏼‍♂️

The second active tour was also a complete success. We were able to spend a few hours with great people and the good mood was not spoiled by the blackberries or trees on the trails😅 Many thanks to all participants. See you next time 👋🏽

July 2, 2022,Ziegenrück (Südliche Rundtour an der Saale)

In Ziegenrück, the damming of the Saxon Saale to form the Hohenwarte reservoir is slowly beginning.

The round tour was peppered with long single trails and buildings on a disused railway line.

There was a navigation failure between:
km 7.61 - 11.0

A highlight of the tour that was particularly worth seeing was the Ziemestal Bridge.
