The trackbed of the Elsava Valley Railway ran along this route from 1910 to 1979. It ran from Elsenfeld to Heimbuchenthal. Once hailed as a gateway to progress and a link to modern life, the first setbacks began in the late 1950s due to changes in travel and transportation options. Then, in the 1960s, things went steeply downhill. Passenger service was discontinued in 1968, and freight service in 1979. This beautiful cycle path was reopened in 1992.
