Gunzenhausen–Pleinfeld railway

The railway line Gunzenhausen Plein - box (also known as Lakeland Railway ) is a 16.8 km long main railway in Bavaria Central Franconia County White Castle -Gunzenhausen. It runs on the southern shore of Lake Brombach Gunzenhausen by Plein field. The name Lakeland train is due to the location in the Franconian Lake District, as the track next to the great and the small Brombachsee also opens up the Altmuehlsee transport links.

With the construction of the line Treuchtlingen - Donauwörth (1906 opened ) lost the section Plein field Gunzenhausen as well as the entire route Plein field Nördlingen Donauwörth important.
