One of the Best Places To Visits in Hetzbach Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Top👍 A very cool train bridge. The "Himbächel Viaduct" is a single-track viaduct of the Odenwaldbahn between Erbach and Hetzbach, which leads over the Himbachel valley. The bridge was finished in November 1881. During World War II, the bridge escaped being blown up when villagers removed the Wehrmacht explosives that had already been attached! The saving of the bridge earned it the listing as a cultural monument. The shape and material of the Himbächel Viaduct are modeled after the millennia-old tradition of ancient water aqueducts. And that's what it looks like! Amazing spot! Went several times and also did some hikes in the surrounding area. Beautiful! Made in Germany 1882 Interresting view, but nothing more for turists. a beautiful site, Masterpiece of German engineering. What a solid monument, in use since 140 years. It mocks all these second class concrete structures, that are done after fifty years in service. Really beautiful place, I was there with roadbike and some part of roads were not as good as I thought.
