Tour Report: Abandoned Railway M.

Four weeks had passed since our visit to the old carpet factory in June 2020, and there were still about three weeks to go until our summer vacation, for which we already had some exciting places on our list. But we didn't want to wait that long . So we decided to use this Sunday for a little excursion and explore a few smaller locations in the region.

For the start of our little tour, we had chosen an old railroad line that had been officially closed since 1996 and was only partially used for trolley traffic in the 2000s.

We started our hike along the tracks at a former train stop and walked a few hundred meters along the tracks until the vegetation became too dense for us to make our way through the thorn bushes.

Of course, it's not a spectacular location, but for me personally, these nice little things are a very important aspect of the hobby - also because they make me even more involved and engaged with the history of my home region.

The weather was perfect and this place was a good start to our excursion, and after a good half hour we made our way to the next location.
