Blue Bridge over the Ulster River

Highlight • Bridge

Shortly before Wenigentaft, coming from Buttlar, the Ulstertal cycle path uses a large, blue railway bridge to cross the Ulster. Shortly behind there is a plot of land with a large mill wheel - it looks like electricity is generated here from hydropower.

Ruins of the Masbach Basalt Works

Highlight • Structure

In 1924 the quarrying of basalt began on the Dietrichsberg. A basalt works was built near Masbach and a loading track was built on the Wenigentaft-Mansbach-Oechsen railway line to process and transport the extracted material.
The basalt plant near Masbach was shut down at the end of 1961 and was then used as an LPG stable and road maintenance depot.

The wagons could then be loaded with ballast from the higher-lying bunker.
