the old hard field railway on the Aalen Neresheim section ran on this route until the 1970s. It's great how well preserved the area is, no erosion, collapses or rockslides ... Hats off to the work of those who are no longer with us today, I thought casually as I wandered along. The route is very calm and the thoughts can run their course ... The path is partly stony - probably remnants of the former track underground, easy to walk with good footwear, accessible with MTB. It would be a shame not to use the path.

Even in adverse weather conditions with snowfall, the path on the old railway line can be walked very well. Little by little, nature is reclaiming its territory.
