Ravenna Bridge is the name of a 58-metre (190 ft) high and 225-metre (738 ft) long railway viaduct on the Höllentalbahn line in the Black Forest, in Breitnau, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The bridge crosses the Ravenna gorge that ends in the upper Höllental, and has a grade of 12 metres (39 ft). The origin of the name most likely comes from the French ravin for gorge.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“I was at work that morning. Someone came riding like mad
Over the bridge and up the road—Farmer Rouf’s little lad.
Bareback he rode; he had no hat; he hardly stopped to say,
“Morgan’s men are coming, Frau, they’re galloping on this way.”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
