Tips from the Community

Akku hält, wir auch 🔋😎👋
November 28, 2025, Oderbrücke (Bimmelbrücke) on the Former Railway Line Bilshausen–Wulften

The bridge was part of the Leinefelde–Wulften railway line, also known as the Lower Eichsfeld Railway. The Wulften–Duderstadt section was opened on November 1, 1889.

Nickname "Bimmelbrücke": The bridge got its popular name because the train constantly rang its bell ("bimmelte") when crossing the iron Oder bridge to warn of the many unguarded level crossings.

Unfortunately, it's been closed to visitors for a long time. The tower doesn't look as massive as the other one in the courtyard, but it should be somewhat taller. There's no viewing platform, just small windows at the top. The view would probably be limited, if one could even go up there. Hopefully, the tower will reopen someday. Then we can be sure. Even so, I think it's beautiful – every observation tower has its own architecture and history. I'm always fascinated by them.

The Klingenberg Spring has a lot to offer. You'll find a great resting place here, you can refresh yourself at the spring, and learn interesting facts from the information board. A visit here is definitely worth it!

Either roll through quickly, or ride slowly and get wet feet while pedaling 🙃
