Mountain biking

A very nice, old signal box building (built in 1906) and remnants of the former rail connection to Laubach convey pure lost-place feeling here!

Here you can still see parts of the old rail connections to Laubach and the Hungen depot and other former connections to various companies.

The signal box (see photo) at the large Hungen marshalling yard is still fully operational, a railway employee explained to me today from the window. And it will likely continue to shine with functionality.
