Neukirchen Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The old viaduct is beautifully restored, a sign on the rest area reminds of the time when the rail busses were still driving.

Nice rest area. By the way, there are still explanations to the former railway through the Solmsbachtal with the associated viaduct. The place is located at the crossroads of paths to Bonbaden and Altenkirchen.

Today, at icy 0 degrees, shot a lap around the Möttauer Weiher.
Well-known route, well-known paths, small approach, just right for today 😁👍🏻

Familiar round in modest weather, so I took a more sporty approach to today's solo round and picked up the pace.

The paths in the forest are not really easy to walk, so I mainly opted for the gravel paths.
