    Gravel riding

    The former railway bridge over the Muschwitz is located on the Thuringian-Bavarian border between Blankenstein (Saale) and Lichtenberg (Upper Franconia) at kilometer 63.5 of the former Triptis–Marxgrün railway line. The structure has particular historical relevance, as the inner-German border ran directly along the bridge structure during the division of Germany.

    Gravel riding

    In this area, the Muschwitz marks the border between Thuringia and Bavaria. The bridge was located directly on the demarcation line and remained unused for decades after the Second World War.
