Todtnauerli Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The railway line Zell im Wiesental-Todtnau, where among other things this tunnel is located, was a 18.74 kilometers long private meter gauge narrow gauge railway from Zell im Wiesental to Todtnau. It was referred to as a continuation of the standard gauge Wiesentalbahn from Basel via Lörrach to Zell as Upper Wiesentalbahn. For the local population she was called Todtnauerli, in the spacious vernacular Todtnauerle. After the expiration of the concession, the state of Baden-Württemberg took over the route on 1 January 1953 and brought them into the Mittelbadische Eisenbahnen AG. The decline in traffic led to the closure of passenger traffic on September 25, 1966 and freight traffic on September 24, 1967. The tracks were completely dismantled. Today we mainly use the route as a bike path and also serves the annual Wiesental run from the meadow spring on Feldberg to Basel as part of the route.

Highlight • Cycleway

Really nice route for bicycles from Zell to Todtnau along the Wiese river. It used to be an old train railway route. Many beautiful places near the forest on the way and an old train tunnel
