In rings there are many relics of the "Strategic Railway", which was never completed. Here you can drive on part of the railway embankment. The entire route would be a great bike path into the Ahr valley. The viaduct above Ahrweiler was not completed, in one of the tunnels was the government bunker, now a museum.

Very nice path on the old route of a strategic train. At the beginning of the 20th century, the route should be able to quickly bring German soldiers to Saarland and Lorraine. From this two-track planned section to Rech, some parts of the causeway are still clearly visible.
