The Grünentaler high bridge is a road and rail bridge over the Kiel Canal at the canal km 31.0. The bridge is one of the few ways to cross the canal by bike or on foot.
Even if the beautiful old high bridge was demolished in 1988 when the canal was widened, the new high bridge is definitely worth a visit, even if you don't have to cross the canal.
By the way, Grünental itself is a small settlement east of the canal with excursion restaurants.
