Bridge Attractions In Peypin
1. Pont du GardVers Pont Du Gard The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance. The aqueduct bridge is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50-kilometre system built in the first century AD to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus . Because of the uneven terrain between the two points, the mostly underground aqueduct followed a long, winding route that called for a bridge across the gorge of the Gardon River.

Few large cities are so close to nature or have such extensive gardens, spacious parks and generous lawns for playing and sunbathing. The most impressive park in the Saxon metropolis is the 363-acre Great Garden or Grosser Garten. Elector Johann Georg III started the Dresdeners' favorite park with its absolutely straight avenues in 1678, modeling it on the French parks. The Palace at the point where the avenues meet is a jewel of early Baroque. It is still used today for festive events in the middle of green surroundings. In the summer, the open-air stages and the puppet theater are always popular. Other attractions include the Botanical Garden and the zoo, while Volkswagen's manufacture of luxury cars in its Transparent Factory on the edge of the park is a symbol of the modern. For the journey into the wide landscape of experience, visitors young and old like to use the park railway, which is traditionally operated by Dresden schoolchildren.
The Park Railway With steam power through the park
Visitors entering the park Großer Garten (English: Great Garden) are often amazed as unrecognisable sounds and the energetic signal of a locomotive disturbs the idyllic peace and thick clouds of smoke rise up into the crowns of the trees. The solution to this puzzle is the park railway, a miniature railway with 381 mm gauge which takes thousands of small and large passengers on a trip through the park during the summer months. Special about this railway is that it is operated by children and young people in their free time. Already in the early thirties of the last century a miniature railway ran as a special attraction to the Hygiene and Garden Exhibition on the site of the park Großer Garten. After the city had seen years of railways carrying rubble away from the city following 1945, memories of the old steam railways resurfaced in the city's consciousness International Children's Day in 1950 was the perfect occasion to make the children's railway operating again. In that same year the first stretch went into service. In 1951 it was renamed the Pioneer's railway and was extended to 5.6 km. From this time onwards, most of the service roles have been carried out by children, many of today's train drivers caught the railway bug in their childhood here. In 1990 the Pioneer's railway was renamed: Dresden Park Railway and in 1993 incorporated into Schlösser und Gärten Dresden. The train takes playgroups and school groups to the zoo, the palace ponds or to events in the open air stage in comfort and at a low price. In the event of inclement weather, covered or closed carriages offer protection. As well as Father Christmas tours, the annual Open doors day is particularly popular, but romantic night time journeys are also in the calendar. The stretch passes through a charming area of the Great Garden. There are lots of things to discover on the way: The animal enclosures in the zoo, the impressive palace and lake Carola, where passengers can take a gondola ride. It is not only children who will be enchanted on the half hour round journey - adults can sit back and relax and enjoy reminiscing on their own childhood, as the small train hurries through the park at 20 km/h (12 mph).
