Footbridge in Reichenau an der Rax, Austria

On my way to the Reichenau railway station, I crossed the Schwarza on a pedestrian bridge with filigree iron construction. The elegant lanterns reminded me that I walked on the grounds of a famous spa town in the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. [German]

In the distance, a small locomotive of the Höllentalbahn puffed on a narrow gauge known as Bosnische Spur (Bosnian gauge). The route of this railway ran from the railway station Payerbach-Reichenau to the Höllental (Hell Valley).
