Railway viaducts near Bad Kissingen

Highlight • Bridge

The building can not be photographed so well, because it is quite ingrown. At any rate, it can bear witness to times when German engineering was still a term with absolute justification.

Saale Bridge, Westheim

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge itself is not a piece of jewelry. The view of the Saale is always nice (and at every bridge). :-)

Highlight • Cycleway

The Thulbaradweg leads past the Wakepark Thulba. It would be a sin not to stop here.
