<br>The Grove Valley Viaduct is one of the many art constructions on the Odenwald railway in the municipality of Hesseneck. He straddles the eponymous Valley of the Itterbaches and is a smaller copy of the Himbächelviadukts in its construction. Similar to the Himbächelviadukt, he is a popular photo site. It consists of a total 9 arches with about 15 meters span.<br><br>The 173 m long and 30 m high viaduct was built in 1871 for 170,000 marks. The first official train ran with passengers probably on May 27, 1882, at the opening of the section Kailbach Eberbach on the viaduct. It lies - south driving – between the breakpoint Kailbach and the former breakpoint Friedrichsdorf, a few meters before the border between Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.
