View of the Diedenhainer Viaduct from the Footbridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Diedenhainer Viadukt it first goes up steeply, then over the expressway bridge to shortly after Hartha, there the bike path is only asphalted shortly after crossing the road, after that it will be really bad better to drive over Aschershain (hope it will be expanded further)

Diedenhain Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The Diedenhain Viaduct is 210 meters long and 51 meters high. It is part of the Limmritz–Waldheim section of the Riesa–Chemnitz railway, also known as the Bankruptcy Mile. The costs of building the six viaducts, retaining walls, and earthworks on a stretch of just 7.5 kilometers caused the private railway company to become insolvent. In 1850, the company was nationalized, and two years later, the line was incorporated into the Niederrhein Railway as part of the Niederrhein Railway.

View of Waldheim

Highlight • Viewpoint

About halfway up the steep climb there is a bench that can be used when stamina is slowing or the muscles need to be supplied with nutrients. They also offer a beautiful view of the city in the valley.

View of Kriebstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view compensates for the small increase. Especially in autumn it is a very nice panorama.
