Ricarda & Ralf 🌳🌲
September 26, 2026, Neue Rad- und Fußwegbrücke über die Lahn

Former bridge of the Kanonenbahn railway.

The structure was once planned and built for the double-track expansion of the Kanonenbahn. Only the superstructure had been completed for single-track operation. Today, a modern, bright surface has been laid on the old superstructure. A few painted rails would enhance the history and character.

The renovation of this bridge is successful. The bright floor design alone, equipped with benches, makes this place very friendly.

The "Alte Molkerei" building in Wetterfeld made of red brick is more than 120 years old. It is in a very neglected state.

The old railway, cycle, and pedestrian bridge was renewed in its superstructure with a modern structure with a non-slip surface and benches. The old bridge piers and abutments are still preserved. There is no reference to the history of the old cannon railway bridge yet.

The Kanonenbahnbrücke between Wißmar and Lollar has been nicely renovated and is now a real highlight for cyclists and hikers.
