    EYACH
    Hub for two railway lines
    Where the Eyach flows into the Neckar, the tracks of the
    Hohenzollern State Railway connect with those of the Deutsche Bahn.


    This is where the almost 30-kilometer-long romantic journey from Hechingen through the narrow valley of the river, which has its source near Albstadt-Pfeffingen, ends. Eyach station, which has been on the railway line from Rottenburg to Tübingen since 1864, is the ideal connection point for the Hohenzollern State Railway to establish a cross-connection to Hechingen along the Eyach and to open up the Hohenzollern hinterland. After its foundation in 1899, the "Hohenzollern'sche Kleinbahngesellschaft" began building the railway line.

    On June 17, 1901, the first train traveled from Eyach to Stetten. After a construction break of over ten years, the gap in the track from Stetten to Hechingen was closed on Christmas Eve 1912: Eyach is particularly important for freight handling. From there, the CO2 gases from carbon dioxide deposits between Bad Niedernau and Bad Imnau are transported to Stuttgart.

    In 1934, a diesel railcar for passenger rail transport on the HzL route was launched for the first time in Eyach, heralding the gradual end of the steam train era. The last steam locomotive of the HzL was retired in 1970. The following year brought the end of passenger rail transport between Eyach and Hechingen for the time being.

    It was only in 2009 that the river of the same name gave the "Eyachtäler" its name. The Regio Shuttle runs every two hours between Eyach and Hechingen from May 1st to the third Sunday in October.

        Be careful on the tracks, especially when it is wet. The old route with train 🚂 is still very busy
