The embankment preserved today is 13 km long between Holzheim and Rommerskirchen. In the area there are still areas with bridges over paths and streams.
Before the First World War, the railway line was intended for the transport of lignite.
Now this route has largely become a pedestrian or bicycle route.

This is the part of the Strategic Embankment on which no trains have ever run and no tracks have been laid.

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

Some of the steels pictured here can be found on the old railway embankment. However, I'm not entirely sure what their meaning is.
