Actually, no new highlights would have been needed. The bridge was simply renovated from the ground up and the road surface renewed.

The old railway bridge has deteriorated in recent years. In 2025-2026, it was replaced by a modern, wide cycle and pedestrian bridge with benches, resting on the old bridge piers of the former railway bridge.

A well-known landmark in the city and also the nickname for true residents of Giessen.

A beautifully landscaped biotope right next to the bike path. Numerous bird species 🐧 can be observed here, especially in spring. There's also a beautiful view of Gleiberg Castle 🏰.
