The Hunsrückbahn - one of the most breathtaking railroad tracks in Germany
For railway enthusiasts, the Hunsrück Railway between Boppard and Emmelshausen, which was opened in 1908, is one of the most interesting in the country.
This is not only due to the breathtaking landscape of the Middle Rhine Valley and Vorderhunsrück, which passes by the train window. With five tunnels and two viaducts, the railway overcomes an 8.5-kilometer section of 336 meters in altitude, making it the steepest regular-service railway in Germany and still an engineering masterpiece today.
