A train signal between trees in the middle of nowhere: More than 100 years ago, the railway ran along the Pleisbach here - until 1960. It mainly transported stone material from the Hühnerberg. That was intended for roads, dams. Clay was mined for bricks, fertilizer for the fields, and coal for heating.

The explanatory board explains that a railway line for freight traffic used to run here. The goods are now delivered by truck and the trains are no longer needed. But what comes next………?
