Most of the bridges on the railway embankment could be used for the cycle path, so that cyclists and hikers have a low-gradient, green path available. Only in Rhumspringe does the official route lead through the village – the most beautiful, but undeveloped viaduct on the route is left to the left.

The Bleicherode (Ost) –Herzberg railway line was a 41 km long branch line, which mainly served the freight transport of the former salt mines in Bischofferode and the former lignite power plant in Rhumspringe. The line was not electrified. The difficult terrain required a tunnel and a height loop. Source: https://www.bahntrassenradwege.de/index.php?page=Herzberg+%E2%80%93+Wei%C3%9Fenborn-L%C3%BCderode

Beautiful old bridge over the Rhume. The spring is located in Rhumasprung and is probably the third largest in Europe.
