    Tips

    One of the few cycle paths that is not asphalted and is therefore also suitable for hiking. The 96.6-kilometer-long Sechsämter cycle path runs for 7.4 kilometers on this old railway line.
    The railway line was opened on July 20, 1899. The main argument for its construction was the transport of granite from the area. Freight traffic was always important for the line. Passenger traffic ended at the end of the 1971/72 winter timetable on May 28, 1972. Freight traffic continued until December 31, 1993. The line was dismantled the following year.
    The new cycle path on the line was inaugurated on July 10, 1998.

      Beautiful finely gravelled hiking and cycling trails on the old railway line, along ponds and unspoilt nature
