Tips
Around 1900, sand was mined in the Schwanheim dunes. The carts filled with sand were pulled by horses. The rails of the lorries were attached to the stone track.

Only the stone blocks are visible and without the information board you wouldn't know anything!

All you can actually see are the stone blocks on which the rails of the lorry railway were laid. Without explanations on the information board, the route would not be recognizable.
