Hiking

Was nice, even if I was surprised by a rain shower. Of course, it would be even nicer with a steam locomotive.

Hiking

The tracks are still there. Bridges were even built for the forest roads. This bridge is located in one of the steepest sections of the Aartalbahn line, which also presented a technical challenge for the locomotives.
