Description:
For a Federal Garden Show in Ronnenburg and Gera in Eastern Thuringia, a pedestrian bridge with special length has been designed over the Gessental, a former uranium mining area. For the first time a glued laminated block beam was used as a 225 meter strip. The longest bridge of its kind in Europe, with exotic name "Dragon's tail" was awarded by the German Timber Construction Award.
