In the spring of 1943 concentration camp inmates had to build the 10km long railway line between Weimar-Schöndorf and Buchenwald within just three months.

The former Weimar-Buchenwald railway line runs partly within sight of the Blood Road. Even if the reason for building the route is very ugly, the path is easy to walk on. On the way there is always a board with information.
