    Hiking

    The railway embankment that has been preserved has a length of 13 km between Holzheim and Rommerskirchen. In the area there are still the areas with bridges over paths and streams.
    Before the First World War, the railway line was intended for the transport of lignite. During the war, the railway line gained national importance in order to relieve the Ruhr-Mosel-Bahn.
    After the war, the railway line lost its importance and was shut down.

    Hiking

    This is the strategic embankment, on which trains never ran and no tracks were laid.

    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategischer_Bahndamm

    The embankment is now a ground monument and can be used as a footpath, riding path and, in some cases, a cycle path. Unfortunately, a few bridges on the Rommerskirchen side are broken, so that you have to take small detours there.
