Valendas Train Station Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Massive steel bridge at the Valenda-Sagogne station. You can take great overview photos of the beautiful nature in the Rhine Gorge from it.
I'm excited to see who makes this bridge swing... ;-)

Protective Wall in the Ruinaulta Gorge

Highlight • Structure

A rampart protecting the railway line directly beneath an impressive rocky landscape. The hiking trail leads over this rampart, and the view up to the cliffs is impressive.
