Freienseen Railway Tunnel

"South of Freienseen in Vogelsberg, the former Hungen-Mücke Reichsbahn line crossed under the Galgenberg. The line was put into operation in 1890 to Laubach, extended to Mücke in 1903 and from here known as the Seental Railway. The single-track Reichsbahn tunnel is 133 meters long and was Built in 1902. On May 31, 1958, the line between Freienseen and Mücke was closed. In 1959, passenger traffic between Hungen and Freienseen, as well as freight traffic between Laubach and Freienseen, was stopped. The Laubach-Mücke section was closed and dismantled."Source and more on the history of the Hungen - Mücke railway line: alexanderhitz.de/reichelsheim_horlofftalbahn_freiseen.htmlTip: With a bit of luck you can also take a quick look inside the tunnel if a load of mushroom spawn has just been delivered or the mushroom harvest is being harvested.
