A 40 m high ridge stood in the way of the planned railway line, which could not be bypassed. So you had to dig the route through the geest. In retrospect, this led to some landslides and large snow drifts in winter, so that trains derailed again and again.
Today the old railway line is a beautiful, natural ravine.
