A Ride on the Hunsrück Mountain Railway

2 viaducts, 5 tunnels and a wonderful view – the rail journey Boppard-Buchholz-Emmelshausen taking you through Boppard’s forests is one of the most delightful mountain railway routes in Germany. The rail track was opened in 1908 and was formally a rack railway. On its way to Buchholz, it accomplishes a height of more than 300 metres within a distance of 8 kilometres. The Hunsrück Railway takes you to the starting points for many walks e.g. the start to the walk through the Ehrbach Gorge or the starting point for the Schinderhannes cycling path in the Hunsrück. Bicycles can be taken free of charge.
