Built in 1912, the Langwies Viaduct is a reinforced-concrete bridge with a span of 284 m. The Langwies Viaduct Museum occupies several historically significant rooms near the railway station and brings the history of the structure to life for locals and visitors. The viaduct can be viewed on foot from Langwies railway station; walks around the village also offer ever-changing perspectives of the structure. Taking the train across the Langwies Viaduct is an impressive experience.
