ドナウエッシンゲン周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

ドナウ川の源流は、特に一つの地点に特定できないという点で、非常に興味深いテーマです。何世紀にもわたり、ドナウ川が本当にどこから始まるのかについて、黒い森では魅力的な「競争」がありました。

Gutmadingenは、有名な沈没地点のすぐ近くにあります。乾燥した夏の月には、ここで奇妙なことが起こります。ドナウ川は地下のカルストシステムに大量の水を失い、川床が完全に干上がります。その後、石の多い川床を徒歩で散策することができ、その間、水は地下をラドルフツェルアーハ川、そしてボーデン湖へと流れていきます。

Great cycle path that continues for a long time

A chainsaw carving at the confluence of the Brigach and Breg rivers in Donaueschingen. A nearly 20-meter-long marble run is designed to bring the course of the Danube and its landmarks to life. For €1, you can buy a wooden ball from the "gumball machine," let it roll down, and take it home as a souvenir.

The young Danube is very idyllic

This section is easy to navigate. The path is wide enough, but offers no shade.

The Wutach Valley Railway is a 61.7-kilometer-long, standard-gauge, single-track railway line. It connects Lauchringen station, on the High Rhine Railway, with the Hintschingen junction near Immendingen, where it joins the Black Forest Railway. The winding route of the middle section, and especially the reversing tunnel in the Stockhalde, gave it its nickname, the Sauschwänzle Railway. The line was built for strategic military reasons and opened in 1890. Because the standard railway line partially runs through Switzerland, the plan was to bypass it. Because the geography of the Wutach Valley in the middle section, from Weizen to Blumberg, resulted in an elevation difference of over 230 meters, the line had to be artificially extended. At just 9.6 km as the crow flies, the railway line is 25 kilometers long. This artificial extension was achieved with several bridges, a circular reversing tunnel, and a double loop. The circular tunnel is the only structure of its kind in Germany. With a gradient of only 10 ‰, heavy (military) trains could be transported without additional traction. Since this artificial extension of the line also increased ticket prices and travel times, passenger traffic was insignificant and was discontinued on the central section in 1967. Today, the central section is used for heritage traffic, usually with steam locomotives.
