Parksteg in Payerbach
This footbridge in Payerbach, generally known as Parksteg, was built in 1903. It is a combination of concrete and a railing in the style of Jugendstil. I was especially impressed by the idea to create the ornaments by using cast concrete.
Rustensteg in Vienna
This photo shows a detail of the Rustensteg, a pedestrian bridge crossing the tracks leading to the railway station Westbahnhof in Vienna. It saw its construction in 1901. From this bridge, pedestrians have a fine view of trains entering and leaving the railway station.
Otto-Wagner-Bridge in Vienna
This bridge designed by Otto Wagner was built in 1894/1895 and is still in use by the subway line U6 which is obviously an elevated railway at this part of the line. There are several names for this bridge, e.g. Otto-Wagner-Brücke, Wientalbrücke or Brücke über die Zeile.
Landwasser Viaduct at the Albula Railway
Pic of my train taken while sitting in the last coach. The train is just passing the famous Landwasser Viaduct of the Albula Railway, a world heritage site in Switzerland. In this huge scenery my train looks like a tiny object of a model railway layout, doesn’t it?
Murinsel in Graz
The Murinsel in Graz is an artificial floating platform in the middle of the Mur river. US artist Vito Acconci designed this sort of island in 2003. Two footbridges connect the platform with both banks of the river. Inside the dome, people in a café have a good time watching canoeists driving along the river. [German]
