Remscheid, Muengsten Bridge, Germany - 16th March 2013

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
this week most of the snow melted away. We all hope that spring will come soon! We took a walk to Germany's highest railway bridge, Muengsten Bridge. This railway bridge is connecting Remscheid and the neighbour city Solingen, overspanning the valley of river Wupper.

It took us a 40 minutes walk until we could have a first look at the bridge.

We followed a hiking trail which is coming close to the bridge, but we intended to cross the river and walk on the other side of the valley.

Very obviously we are still having winter :)

We crossed the river and followed the hiking path, like the river meandering along the steep slope of the valely.

Muengsten Bridge was built of steel, completed in 1907. It is about 480 m long and 107 m tall. There are extensive repair works going on in the last few years, and there will be more this year from April till at least October.

Some years ago a leisure park was created under the bridge. You can find lawns here for relaxing, a crazy golf course, a restaurant, snack bars, a kiosk and playgrounds for kids.

When we get home, we will have to wash our trousers and clean the shoes - the paths in the forest were incredibly muddy :D

Bye
Tsukumo
