It's a single-track bridge on the Odenwald railroad. From hill to hill, It spans a distance of 250 meters, and a height of 40 meters. It has ten spans made of sandstone collected from local quarries, and concrete foundations for each. It was built in 1880-81 by the company Karl Weißhuhn from Toppau in Silesia.
The panorama was taken five minutes before the sun vanished behind the hills.
I made a special page with some more panoramas of the viaduct and other bridges I took for this event, but the weather was not so nice any more the rest of the week.
