Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): The span between Pylon 15 and Pylon 16 across Eyach Valley ( German: Eyachtal) is
Germany's largest powerline span with a span width of 1444 metres. As the pylons are standing high above the valley on a mountain,
they are much less tall than those of "Elbekreuzung 1" and "Elbekreuzung 2".

At Pylon 16, there is also a cable branch of the circuit on the eastern side of the pylon. This branch is only detectable, when you
stand just in front of the pylon.

Eyach Valley is a valley in Black Forest south of Pforzheim. Anlage 615 is the designation of EnBW, the power company who ownes the line
crossing Eyach Valley. The powerline crossing Eyach Valley runs from Höfen Substation to Neuenbürg Substation.
Anlage 615 is a powerline for 2 110 kV three phase AC circuits. Although both circuits on the pylons are mounted on insulators for 110kV on the pylons,
the circuit on the Eastside of the crossbar is run with 20 kV.

Between Pylon 11 and Pylon 12, this line crosses Enz Valley with a span width of 1362 metres. This is the second largest powerline span in Germany
and looks in my opinion much more impressive, than that of Eyach Valley ( may be a resultat in fact, that Eyach Valley is in opposte to Enz Valley nearly
completely covered with forest.
Pylon 11 and 12 of Anlage 615 are from smiliar height as Pylon 14 and 15, but as I have no exact heght data of them, I will not post them.
