The Black Forest Railway Experience Trail introduces hikers and railway fans to the history of the construction and ongoing operation of the Black Forest Railway between Hornberg, Triberg and St. Georgen. Visitors experience the eventful and exciting history of the Black Forest railway with its numerous tunnels and hairpin bends on a charming panoramic route, which is told and vividly illustrated using vivid examples.
