We usually associate high bridges with high terrain or wide rivers, but this one here at Rendsburg in northern Germany is somewhat different. The land here is as flat as a pancake, but the Nord Ostee (or Kiel) Canal sees some very large ships, and as a result the railway north from Hamburg towards Denmark has to gain a considerable height to make clearance for the sea-going vessels.

Here, a train heads from the south and is soon to cross the canal, but immediately after that, it will descend in a spiral to lose height, so that it will find itself at Rendsburg’s railway station at normal level.
