The Schwarzwaldbahn, or Black Forest
Railway, runs between Offenburg and Singen, at a distance of
90 miles. The line was constructed over a challenging terrain
between 1863 and 1873, and even today it is hailed as a feat of
engineering. Having to overcome a height difference of 650 metres
in some places, this was managed by creating a series of loops,
tunnels and viaducts. These would eventually provide the
inspiration for later railways, including the Bernina Line and the
Gotthard Pass.
Running through some truly spectacular scenery,
the Schwarzwaldbahn Railway has remained popular
with both the Black Forest locals and tourists alike, ever since
its opening.
