With its 12 arches, the Oberkirchen viaduct, built between 1934 and 1936, is by far the largest and most impressive structure on the Westrichbahn Türkismühle - Kusel. In terms of its design, it is one of the largest stone bridges in southwest Germany. It spans the Ostertal at a height of 30m over a length of 275m. The core of the bridge consists of reinforced concrete, the masonry was made with 16,000 m³ of local natural stone "Basalt - Deopryll". The stones come from the quarries of Heinrich Decker in Pfeffelbach and Thallichtenberg the rails on the valley bridge were also removed. The bridge was renovated in 1992. Since then, the “Fritz-Wunderlich-Wanderweg” has led over the building and allows hikers and cyclists a beautiful overview of the upper Ostertal. Source: Text information board
