Pfaffenberg-Zwenberg-Brücke is the highest of 3 large concrete arch bridges that run along the side of a steep mountain slope on the spectacular Tauern Railway in Austria. All 3 bridges were part of a 1971 realignment project that bypassed at least half a dozen tunnels as well as a tight horseshoe turn within each river gorge. The original single track line was also doubled. The second highest of the 3 arches is the Lindisch Brücke at 358 feet (109 mtrs) while the double arched Falkenstein Brücke is just 213 feet (65 mtrs) high.<br />
