This station has always been a model railway for me. A truly beautiful station that hasn't been left to decay. And... Bempflingen still has a train station, although it's no longer used as a station.

Beautiful clearing in the middle of the forest 🌳. Unfortunately, the giant sequoia is fenced off. In the early morning hours you might see deer (if you're lucky 🍀).
