The forgotten tracks belong to the HANAUER KLEINBAHN, which between 1896 and 1933 connected the city of Hanau with the surrounding communities in a single-lane track operation. The Kleinbahn tracks were originally 20.2 km long and ended at the Hüttengesäß (near Ronneburg) and Langenselbold stations. People and goods were transported.After numerous interruptions in traffic from 1921, the entire line was closed in 1933.

Nice little hike.
Someone who would like to take a quick walk and put nature first. Parking spaces are available.
Attention: the bunkers at the air base can only be admired through the fence.

This is a disused track that leads to the former Langendiebach air base.(The Hanau narrow-gauge railway had a different route, this one led through the Lamboyviertel to Rückingen, where the route branched off; one route led via Langendiebach to Hüttengesäß (Ronneburg) and the other via Rückingen to Langenselbold).
