Tips
Here you can still see a locomotive from the former Hochwaldbahn. Very nice...

Year of construction 1963. As far as I know, however, the locomotive has never been in the high forest.

The railway line that used to run from Trier via Hermeskeil to Türkismühle is known as the Hochwaldbahn, also known as the Ruwertalbahn. The northern section from Trier to Hermeskeil was closed in 1998 and then dismantled, the southern section from Hermeskeil to Türkismühle was used by freight and museum railways until 2012 and closed in 2014. The tracks to the Saarland / Rhineland-Palatinate border were dismantled in 2019, and the remaining section to Türkismühle was dismantled in March 2020.
