The cliffs of the Caaner Schweiz (Caan Switzerland) in the Saynbach Valley in the Westerwald region are 140 to 249.7 meters high. Mud and sand deposits from the Devonian sea, approximately 400 million years ago, formed the origin of the rocks, which were compacted by pressure, folded into a mountain range, and eroded. The rock consists of clay shale, sandstone, and quartzite sandstone.

Although the line is closed, construction trains operated by the Brexbachtalbahn e.V. (https://diebrex.de) are still running, even on weekdays. Stepping onto the tracks may be considered a dangerous interference with rail traffic (Section 315 of the German Criminal Code) and may be prosecuted accordingly. The association asks for your attention and consideration for your own safety.

If you are quiet and a little lucky you might even see a grass snake.

Along the shady Brexbach stream, there are beautiful paths, bridges from an old railway line, and two accessible caves in the hillside. Don't forget your flashlight!

The Brexbachtalbahn ran between Engers and Hillscheid from 1884 to 2001, until operations were completely discontinued. In 2007, the Brexbachtalbahn e.V. association set about reactivating the railway line, and today there are once again special trips and trips for transporting wood on the route. This is one of the many bridges that the railway crosses.
