Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The two-kilometer section on the former railway line 39a connects the Göhltal Viaduct with Kelmis. Shady, water-bound, almost level, car-free.

The Moresnet viaduct is a 1200 metre long railway bridge over the Geul valley in Moresnet. It is one of the most famous railway bridges in Belgium. The bridge is part of railway line 24 (Montzenroute Antwerp-Aken), which was specially built for the transport of German artillery and troops to the front during the First World War in 1915-1916. The viaduct was renovated between 2002 and 2005. The bridge sections were replaced and the pillars were restored. The bridge connects to the Gemmenichertunnel in the east, which passes under the Vaalserberg. In the west lies the railway yard of Montzen station with the Remersdaal Tunnel behind it.
The viaduct consists of 22 steel double-track bridge sections, supported by 2 abutments, 5 support pillars and 16 ordinary pillars made of stamped concrete (a new technique at the time). Each of the bridge sections is 48 metres long and weighs approximately 260 tonnes.
The bridge is an important link in international freight traffic. It connects the German Aachen with the port of Antwerp and is located near the Montzen marshalling yard. The Moresnet bridge is therefore important for Belgium for its trade relations with Germany and with countries in Eastern Europe. Every day, 80 to 90 freight trains pass here in both directions.

This impressive backdrop is unparalleled. The railway bridge at Moresnet is simply beautiful and fits perfectly into the landscape.
This unique viaduct is really worth seeing. A monumental structure that will amaze you.

The rest area has been redesigned and now offers even more space. I think a local business is advertising its benches, tables, and wooden shelters here.

RAVeL Line 39a: Welkenraedt – Montzen Viaduct

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The width of the bike path is very narrow, so that adventurous evasive maneuvers can sometimes occur
