コルンベルクのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A charming hiking trail leads through a dense but extremely well-ordered reforestation area. The trail is part of the C1 route, which is, however, only very sparsely marked here. A small but very distinctive marker stone stands out along the trail.

Preparation for the new Cornberger tunnel on the north-south route

The cycle path (old B 27) is wonderful to ride

The tunnel between Bebra and Sontra, which was opened in 1875, is showing its age and must be replaced by a wider new parallel structure. The two listed portals will be preserved, and the tunnel tube will be filled in. The eastern portal bears the inscription "Cornberger Tunnel 719 m," while the western portal will be kept open for a length of 100 m to serve as a winter quarters for bats.

The 719-meter-long Cornberg Tunnel between Bebra and Sontra has almost reached the end of its technical service life. It is therefore being replaced by a new tunnel. The Cornberg Tunnel is located on the Frankfurt (Main) – Göttingen line in a double-track, electrified section between Bebra and Sontra. It was opened in 1875 and, after 145 years of train service, has suffered extensive damage. Due to the damage, the tunnel can no longer be economically renovated and must therefore be replaced by a new tunnel running parallel to the existing tunnel. This will maintain the line's performance in the long term and also increase travel comfort. The new double-track tunnel will be built parallel to the existing tunnel south of the existing tunnel. This will also shift the tracks in the tunnel area and at Cornberg station slightly to the south. The new track layout will also require the forest road to be shifted laterally for approximately 60 meters.

I often come here to take a break. It's always nice.
