Very nice building with a wonderful view of Burgk Castle from below. After the bridge turn left and you will get to the Jägersteig. Nice hiking trail.

Ziemestal Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

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.
