블룸버그 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Great barbecue hut, the ideal place for a break.

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.

very nice cycle path most of the time in the shade of the trees, some benches suitable for rest and education

This view never ceases to amaze me. Today I saw something "hidden"... a bridge for the Sauschwänzlebahn...

Sauschwänzlebahn A heritage railway that runs from Blumberg to Weizen. The 25 km long railway line is now a technical cultural monument of national importance. Because of its winding route, the line is popularly known as the "SAUSCHWÄNZLEBAHN" (Sauschwänzle Railway).

A great view rewards after a very strenuous climb.
