Sauschwänzlebahn, Heritage railway in Blumberg, Germany.
The railway extends 25 kilometers from Blumberg-Zollhaus to Weizen, incorporating four bridges and six tunnels through the Black Forest landscape.
The railroad, constructed between 1890 and 1892, served military purposes by transporting supplies around the Black Forest region following Germany's annexation of Alsace-Lorraine.
A dedicated group of railway enthusiasts maintains the locomotives and tracks, preserving the technical heritage while offering educational tours about regional transportation history.
The railway operates Monday through Thursday from 14:00 to 16:00 and Friday from 08:30 to 12:00, with special weekend excursions requiring advance phone reservations.
The railway includes Germany's only spiral tunnel, requiring 26.5 kilometers of track to cover a direct distance of 9.5 kilometers due to military grade restrictions.
