    The sight is worthwhile. If only there was not this ugly power line!

      Here you have a beautiful view of the old Spessart ramp, which is growing over time and slowly becoming “invisible”.

        The Spessart ramp was the uphill section of the Würzburg–Aschaffenburg railway line between Laufach and Heigenbrücken. The 5.4 kilometer long old section with an average gradient of 19‰ and the Schwarzkopf Tunnel was taken out of service on June 15, 2017. A shorter route with only a slightly reduced gradient (21 instead of 21.7 per mille) went into operation gradually from June 19, 2017. As a result, instead of the old push operation, heavy freight trains will be rerouted along the route towards Fulda near Jossa or will receive a second locomotive at Frankfurt (Main) Ost station (Wikipedia).
