The viaduct was built to overcome the challenging topography of the Stołowe Mountains foothills.
The structure's design includes five arches, each spanning 15 meters in width.
It was constructed using approximately 4,000 cubic meters of sandstone.
The railway line passing over it, officially designated as Line 309, was reopened for regular passenger traffic in 2013 after years of suspension.
The viaduct survives as one of the most significant engineering landmarks on the scenic route to the border town of Kudowa-Zdrój.
The Kamienny wiadukt kolejowy w Lewinie Kłodzkim is a historic stone railway viaduct completed in 1905 as part of the Kłodzko-Kudowa Zdrój line. The structure spans 120 meters in length and reaches a maximum height of 26 meters, featuring five distinct semi-circular arches. It is constructed from locally sourced sandstone, which is characteristic of the Sudeten mountain architecture of that era. The viaduct remains an active railway component, supporting the line connecting Kłodzko with the Czech border area. Its engineering design allowed for the passage of the railway over the deep valley of the Dańczówka stream. The viaduct is recognized as a key example of Prussian railway infrastructure and industrial heritage in Lower Silesia. It underwent significant revitalization efforts during the renovation of the railway line to maintain its structural integrity.
From the trail level at the bottom of the valley looking upward to capture the symmetry of the five arches.
Bring a wide-angle lens to capture the full height and scale of the stone arches from the valley floor.
Watch for train schedules if you wish to photograph a passing carriage on the tracks.
Wear sturdy footwear if you plan to walk the trail paths leading beneath the bridge.
Do not attempt to climb onto the railway tracks, as the line is active and pedestrian access to the bridge deck is strictly prohibited.
