The Vennbahn had to be deep in a ditch here to avoid becoming too steep. The enormous excavation work at this location would have been the origin of the name Losheimer'graben'. The town of Losheim is a little further in Germany. There was probably no habitation there at that time (early 20th century).

Section of the old railway line to Jünkerath, Germany. It runs in a deep bed here at Losheimergraben. The intersecting paths are therefore not always easy to follow because they cross over high bridges. In this case, there is an alternative path along the line.
