Sie \u00fcberspannt den Firth of Forth zwischen South Queensferry und North Queensferry, 14 km westlich des Zentrums von Edinburgh; die Eisenbahnbr\u00fccke wurde von Sir John Fowler und Sir Benjamin Baker entworfen und am 4. M\u00e4rz 1890 er\u00f6ffnet. Ihre drei gewaltigen st\u00e4hlernen Ausleger, gestrichen in einem Farbton namens \u201eForth Bridge Red\u201c, machten sie zu einem Symbol Schottlands und zu einem Meilenstein viktorianischer Ingenieurskunst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Br\u00fccke wurde f\u00fcr den Zugverkehr zwischen Edinburgh und dem Norden Schottlands gebaut, ist 2.467 Meter lang und war das erste gro\u00dfe Bauwerk Gro\u00dfbritanniens aus Stahl. Ihre beiden Hauptspannweiten von 521 Metern waren bei der Er\u00f6ffnung die l\u00e4ngsten der Welt, die T\u00fcrme ragen rund 110 Meter \u00fcber das Wasser. Seit 2015 geh\u00f6rt die Br\u00fccke zum UNESCO-Welterbe. Noch heute fahren t\u00e4glich Z\u00fcge dar\u00fcber und bieten den Fahrg\u00e4sten einen weiten Blick \u00fcber die Flussm\u00fcndung und die beiden Stra\u00dfenbr\u00fccken daneben: die Forth Road Bridge von 1964 und das Queensferry Crossing von 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informationen f\u00fcr Besucher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Den besten Blick hat man von der Uferpromenade in South Queensferry: Hier kann man am Wasser entlang bis zum Hawes Pier spazieren, die Br\u00fccke fotografieren und den Z\u00fcgen hoch \u00fcber dem Kopf zusehen. North Queensferry am gegen\u00fcberliegenden Ufer bietet eine andere Perspektive direkt unter den Auslegern. Bootsfahrten ab Hawes Pier f\u00fchren unter allen drei Forth-Br\u00fccken hindurch, oft sind Robben und Seev\u00f6gel zu sehen; manche Touren legen auf der Insel Inchcolm mit ihrer mittelalterlichen Abtei an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing the bridge is free: there is no ticket and the shore is open at all times. In 2026 a 90-minute sightseeing cruise with Maid of the Forth costs \u00a318 for adults and \u00a310.50 for children aged 5\u201315, and the three-hour trip with a landing on Inchcolm costs \u00a321, plus \u00a37.50 admission to the island. Sailings are most frequent in summer, so check the timetable before you go. After dark the bridge is floodlit, and sunset is the favourite time for photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Edinburgh Waverley, trains take about 15\u201320 minutes to Dalmeny station, from where a path leads down to the waterfront in 10\u201315 minutes; the same trains then cross the bridge to North Queensferry. Local buses and organised day tours from Edinburgh also serve South Queensferry. The town has restaurants, caf\u00e9s and a historic high street, which makes it an easy half-day trip from the Scottish capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
