EAST PIER OF THE REMAGEN BRIDGE ON THE RHINE RIVER BANK NEAR ERPEL
The 335-meter-long  LUDENDORFF BRIDGE  over the RHINE at REMAGEN/ERPEL
was the last intact railway bridge at the end of World War II,
captured intact by the advancing American troops,
but collapsed a few days later due to overloading...
On the rock in the foreground, a memorial plaque commemorates these battles, but

MERENBERG CASTLE RUINS /LIMBURG-WEILBURG DISTRICT/WESTERWALD

ON THE  KYRILL TRAIL  IN THE SIEGERLAND ROTHAAR MOUNTAINS  
Only a few minutes during the night of January 18 to 19, 2007, were enough for the hurricane KYRILL to transform a 100-year-old spruce stand with some beeches and Douglas firs in the SIEGEN-WITTGENSTEIN forestry district into a chaos of fallen trees, upturned root plates, and shattered trunks...  
In this forestry area alone, over 2.5 million trunks fell victim to the storm.  

It was decided to preserve the forest over an area of about 3 hectares exactly as the hurricane left it. Today, here on 12.7.2018, one can impressively experience and hike through how powerfully and vividly the development has progressed over 11 years solely through the force of nature... extremely impressive
