"... The railway tunnel behind Herchen-Bahnhof is 370 m long. The railway bridge in between was destroyed in the flood of victory in 1909 and in World War II and then renewed again, albeit only on a single track. ..."

I wouldn't say whether the railway tunnel is a highlight now. The rocks are very impressive. But if you have the time, desire and interest you should take the train along the Sieg, the landscape is simply great 👍
