Main inspection of the Pleiner Viaduct on the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route Plein Viaduct, length 98 meters, height above valley 31 meters Unkenstein Tunnel, length 140 meters Grünewald Tunnel, length 124 meters The Pleiner Viaduct consists of a five-span arch bridge. The structure is located on the Hasborn - Wittlich section of the Maare-Mosel Cycle Route. The viaduct, first built in 1910, demolished in 1945, and rebuilt in 1953, is approximately 98 meters long, approximately 31 meters high, and 4.65 meters wide between the railings. It was built on site using reinforced concrete, and the piers, abutments, and side elevations were clad in sandstone. However, the structural concrete is exposed in the arch undersides. After the railway line was closed by Deutsche Bahn in 1984, the tracks were dismantled in 1989. Before the structure was reopened as part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path in 1998, it was completely renovated.

Very beautiful viaduct, steam engines used to whistle, puff and smoke over it. Today cyclists ride over it. It's impressive what was achieved with simple and analogue means when it was built more than 100 years ago.
