The railway bridge is part of the Bruhrainbahn. The original bridge was inaugurated in 1877 but unfortunately blown up on March 24, 1945 when the Allied Forces approached. Today's bridge was completed in 1967 and put back into operation.

Hiked along the Rhine today, Germersheim quarry lake. The place itself is really worth seeing. I preferred the flat land, as many forest paths are muddy and slippery after all the rain. I'm looking forward to my rocks in the Palatinate Forest again

Beautiful tour that you can extend in the park with the fortress. Then across fields to the Rhine. There are two restaurants on the bank where you can stop for a break. But be careful, when the water is high the path directly along the Rhine is flooded and you have to use the path along the dam. Also beautiful, …

Due to its special location on the Rhine, the city has had an eventful history and has always been fought over. The city suffered greatly during the …
