Alte Eisenbahn
==============

- nature experiences - various

Ein Wanderer sitzt auf einer Bank am bewaldeten Rand eines Felsvorsprungs im Teutoburger Wald.

Ein lächelndes Paar geht im herbstlichen Wald spazieren, sonnenbeschienene Bäume im Hintergrund.

Eine Person steht mit ausgebreiteten Armen auf einem bewaldeten Felsvorsprung und genießt den Ausblick.

Grüne, dichte Vegetation umgibt einen kleinen, ruhigen Teich, durch den ein abgestorbener Baumstamm ragt.

Geological outcrop

 The Old Railway is an attempt to run a railroad line between Kassel and Paderborn through the Egge. However, water ingress and other geological features caused construction work to be halted. A new route was therefore laid, which crossed the Egge without a tunnel.

Today, two deep gorges bear witness to this disaster and have become valuable biotopes.
