Gefilmt am 22.05.09 beim Unkelbachtal gegenüber des Örtchens Unkel am Rhein.
Der erste Intercity hat Oberwinter gerade durchquert und wird gleich Remagen erreichen.
Filmed at the Unkel River Valley oposite the litte town of Unkel at the river Rhine.
The first Intercity-train just passed by Oberwinter and will arrive in Remagen in a few minutes.
I found out that from the Unkelbach Valley behind me came once a little narrow gauge basalt steam railway down from the village Unkelbach. It was called the "Unkelbacher Basaltbähnchen". It carried basalt from the Eifel volcano area down to the river Rhine and to the ships which were waiting there. There was an extra tunnel below the standard gauge tracks for this railway. The tunnel and the railway disappeared in the middle of the 1950´s when the B9 street was transfered up this concrete bridge in the video.
