WIESENER GERALD

Amazing sample of engineering and construction work of the beginning of the 20th century. Easy walk from the train station, but station itself is quite far from the village and there seems to be no other option to reach it as train or car

Nice station with coffee shop and a short 2 minute walk to the fantastic rail bridge with awesome views of the gorge below. Be sure to visit the viewing point where you can take photos of the whole bridge. It's just over the other side and turn left. Worth a visit..

Beautiful bridge, with an easy path and breathtaking catwalk to reach the viewpoint. Completely underrated and better than the Landwasserviadukt

Totally worth stopping by, which easy, especially traveling by train. I also came here by car, in summer time i found it quite easy, thought the road is narrow and you might have few difficulties if you meet another car. Ther is car parking at the Wiesen station. The bridge itself is literally 3-5 mins of easy hike along the railway (you have to cross the railway first) The bridge is the highest on the route of the Rättischen Bahn. Its safe to walk on it, as it has good side rails , just could be a bit scary when an unexpected train passes by.

The Wiesenerviadukt is 210 metres long and 88.9 metres high and is a “must see” from the train and on foot. It is the highest bridge on the Rhaetian Railway and has breathtaking views.

In short: amazing, don't miss it! We wanted to visit this viaduct since a few months. We were excited when we learned that there is a safe walking path next to the train track. Recommended? No. Highly recommended! If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

Beautiful piece of early 20th century railway infrastructure with impressive and ingenious construction. In the summertime, there are free guided tours in German starting Thursdays 2:15pm at the Wiesen station led by a charming retired RHB engineer that are absolutely worth attending for individuals and families; groups should register in advance with the IZGL. Definitely worth attending! Afterwards, a refreshment at the lovely cafe at the Wiesen station is just the right choice for a day well spent. They also sell booklets about the line's construction full of historic photographs and various engineering diagrams there. I highly recommend getting off at the Monstein station further up the line to Davos and hiking down the Zügen to Wiesen ahead of the viaduct tour; even on a hot ~35°C day, the ravine is a very bearable place to stay, hike, and take in the scenery at.

Awesome! You can walk on the bridge as well!
