The 257.2-meter-long Hülsbachtalbrücke is a railway bridge over the Hülsbach in Westerburg and the second-longest suspended-pier bridge in Germany. Until 1998, the railway line over the steel girder viaduct connected the towns of Westerburg and Rennerod. Today, the line is disused. The Hülsbachtalbrücke was built as a suspended-pier bridge by Tillmann’sche Eisenbau AG for the Westerwaldquerbahn (Herborn-Rennerod-Fehl-Ritzhausen-Westerburg-Wallmerod-Montabaur). The viaduct is a beam bridge with cantilevered girders. Cantilevered girders were mainly used for large railway bridges constructed in steel framework, which could not be built as suspension bridges due to their span and the higher loads from trains compared to road traffic. The 600-ton riveted steel bridge rests on two abutments at the ends of the bridge and on four steel suspended piers along its total length. Construction work on the bridge was completed in December 1906. The costs amounted to approximately 350,000 marks. Pedestrian walkways are mounted on both sides of the bridge. From 1920 to 1922, the steel structure was reinforced due to the increasingly higher loads from rail vehicles. In the 1930s, the riveted connections were renewed due to signs of fatigue. At the end of the 1960s, the bridge received its last coat of paint. The section of the Westerwald-Querbahn railway line crossing the bridge from Westerburg to Rennerod was opened on July 16, 1907, and closed on April 25, 1998. The Hülsbachtalbrücke has been a listed monument since 1985. In August 2013, the interest group Westerwald-Querbahn (IWQ) e. V. leased the Westerburg–Rennerod line from DB Netz AG and aims to gradually restore the line over the Hülsbachtalbrücke for use as a tourist railway. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BClsbachtalbr%C3%BCcke

Here, a beautiful railway bridge spans the forest road and mill stream. In the field at the fork in the path, there are benches and a table for a short rest.

In summer absolutely impassable by bike, full of thorns and high risk of falling
