View of the Old Bottwartal Railway Bridge

The morning sun brings the whole thing much better advantage.

The Bottwartalbahn was officially called Bottwarbahn under the Royal Württemberg State Railways and was jokingly called the Duck Killer because it was a threat to the local poultry.

The former Bottwartalbahn was a narrow-gauge railway. The old railway bridge is not accessible. Unfortunately, it gradually decays. However, you drive from Steinheim to almost the mouth of the Murr in the Neckar on parts of the former narrow-gauge railway line - a very well-developed footpath and bike path without any gradients, which is closed to motor vehicles of all kinds.
