## About This Content
A triumph of engineering and perseverance, the line from Freiburg to Hausach
takes in some of the most picturesque views in southern Germany, and now you
can drive this dramatic route – complete with hairpin loops and curving
tunnels – in Train Simulator.

In the 1840s a need was established for a new railway to shorten the journey
between Offenburg and Singen. Plans were drawn up for a railway that would cut
through the scenic Black Forest to reduce the journey distance by about 90 km.
However despite the benefits of this line, it was deemed that the complex and
expensive construction of the route and all the structures required would not
be possible to build. The main struggle for builders was the incredible height
difference throughout the Black Forest, and how to avoid a gradient steeper
than 2% at any point which locomotives would not be able to cope with.

Luckily some 20 years after the plans were abolished, a plan was put forward
using numerous hairpin loops and curving tunnels carving through the landscape
to avoid laying track over the steep gradients. By 1863 the construction of a
railway line through the Black Forest had begun and would take about 10 years
to complete.

The most difficult section of the Black Forest Railway to construct was
between Hornberg and Sankt Georgen. Several major hairpin loops were built to
keep the railway within its gradient boundaries as it climbed along the
valley. The loops extended the length of this section from 21 to 38 km, a
lengthy but necessary solution.

Black Forest Journeys: Freiburg – Hausach recreates this route, complete with
its challenging gradients and numerous passes and tunnels, as it appears today
with mostly electric traction in operation hauling passengers and freight.
