3. The LEGO Bridge

Place of location: Wuppertal, Germany Founded in 2011; Cost: Not Known Building the Lego Bridge (also known as the Lego-Brucke in German) only took thirteen days. It is possible to find this concrete beam bridge alongside the Wuppertal Northern Railway. It's a stunning piece of art that appears to have been built entirely of big Lego pieces. Inspired by his Lego-loving daughters, artist Martin Heuwold painted the bridge, which had been deactivated in 1991.

The painting was overseen by Wuppertal Bewegung and was completed in less than two weeks. To help finish the project, Heuwold hired unemployed workers. Given its 2,700-foot span, painting the Lego Bridge was no easy feat.

To get there, you have to ride a cable car 1,900 feet up the mountain. The Vallee Blanche Cable Car travels across the mountain range between Pointe Helbronner and Aiguille du Midi.
