The Koblenz Aare railway bridge
The bridge from the walkway

The Koblenz Aare railway bridge, also known as the Koblenz–Felsenau railway bridge or the Aarebrücke Koblenz, is a single-track railway bridge which carries the Koblenz to Stein-Säckingen line across the River Aare in Switzerland. The bridge dates from 1892 and is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance.[1]

The bridge links the municipalities of Koblenz and Leuggern, both of which are in the canton of Aargau. It is adjacent to Koblenz station, but currently only carries freight trains.[2]
