    "I leave the village church and impressive half-timbered building behind me when I enter the Elbschetal for the first time; I approach the Elbschetal viaduct with excitement, from which there are hardly any good photo motifs to be taken, it largely disappears into the green of the forest.
    Fascinating nonetheless; above me the wonderful sandstone architecture, beautifully curved towards the sky."

      The route of the former Elbschetalbahn is currently being converted into a cycle path.

        "The railway from Schwelm to Witten was not built by the Reichsbahn for the direct purpose of transporting coal. Rather, it was to be part of a new connection between Dortmund and Cologne Neuwuelfingsburg colliery was built between 1911 and 1934.

        Ultimately, the railway never achieved the importance originally expected. So it was abandoned after just under 50 years. The railway line was closed in 1980."
