Boulders threaten the railway line: closure in southern Black Forest!

Boulders threaten the railway line: closure in southern Black Forest!

In the southern Black Forest, an impending risk of nature ensures significant restrictions on rail traffic. Due to unstable rock slopes, Deutsche Bahn has blocked the route between Himmelreich and Hinterzarten as a precaution. This measure was taken to ensure the safety of travelers because large boulders could fall onto the tracks.

In the official announcement by the Deutsche Bahn and the police, it was emphasized that there has been no damage to the rails or injuries so far. Nevertheless, the risk of landslides must be taken seriously, which is why the route remains temporarily closed.

replacement traffic and travel instructions

In order to offer the traveling alternative connections, rail replacement traffic with buses between Himmelreich and Titisee was set up in the early morning. This is expected to remain in operation until Sunday. The travelers are urgently asked to check their connections before starting the trip to avoid long waiting times or diversions.

The situation again shows how weather and terrain conditions can affect public transport. Travelers should regularly find out about the current status of the closures. Further information is available on official rail and news websites, for example according to www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de .
