From 1849 to 1877 above the (lower) promenade the south-north line to Nuremberg ran along here. In the further course to the west, a railway tunnel was built there for the unimaginable sum of 1 million guilders (!). At that time, many railway companies were listed on the stock exchange and raised huge amounts of capital. One of the big bubbles in the history of capital. This route here has definitely not even partially recouped the construction costs.
The abandoned railway embankment is now the upper promenade. Beautiful for pedestrians and cyclists. This is how you benefit from the excesses of the corporation back then.

In the 19th century, the Donauwörther Promenade was built along the city wall along the embankment of the former Ludwig South-North railway. Old trees and a variety of flowers line the path from the Ochsentörl to the Mangoldfelsen. Numerous places to rest, park benches, fountains, an information point for hikers and cyclists as well as an idyllic herb garden and a large children's playground invite you to linger in the approx. 15,600 m² facility.
