Kuckuckslay Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

More space in the tunnel - that's what Deutsche Bahn AG and Alfred Kunz's miners wish for during the tunnel widening work on the Kuckuckslay Tunnel in the Kyll Valley on the 2631 Kalscheueren - Ehrang near Trier railway line. Alfred Kunz Untertagebau and his partner are preparing the double-track, 450-metre-long Kuckuckslay railway tunnel from 1871 by widening the old tunnel structure from the imperial era for the expansion of the railway line to the modern track spacing of 4.00 m.

View of Ramstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ruins of Ramstein Castle stand on a 182 meter high red sandstone rock on the edge of the Meulenwald in the lower Kylltal near Kordel in Rhineland-Palatinate and are therefore of the hilltop castle type.

Built at the beginning of the 14th century by the Archbishop of Trier, Diether von Nassau, as the successor to a fortified estate, it was from then on an electoral Trier feudal castle, which was awarded to electoral subjects and cathedral deans. During the Palatinate War of Succession, the complex was occupied by French soldiers and blown up in 1689. There was no reconstruction. The successor building to the former courtyard house of the castle is now used as a hotel restaurant.
