Excerpt: The Danube Valley Railway (German: Donautalbahn or Donaubahn) in Baden-Wurttemberg in south-western Germany is a 133.8 kilometer-long railway running from the city of Ulm to Immendingen, which is largely single-tracked and for the most part not electrified. The line is famous especially for its charming course through the Upper Danube Nature Park (Naturpark Obere Donau), and is particularly attractive to bicycle tourists. The Royal Wurttemberg State Railways and the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways built the line as part of the railway projects undertaken between 1865 and 1890. The construction of the section between Tuttlingen and Inzigkofen was pushed through by the German general staff, for whom the Danube Valley Railway was seen as a strategic railway in case of another war with France. Since 1901, the Danube Valley Railway, together with the Hollentalbahn (Schwarzwald), form part of the pan-regional railway link from Ulm to Freiburg im Breisgau.

From Immendingen the line runs across the Upper Danube Nature Park (Naturpark Obere Donau), brushing up against the southern edge of the Schwabische Alb, all the while following the course of the Danube. Between the towns of Inzigkofen and Herbertingen, the Danube Valley Railway again shares its tracks, this time with the Zollernalb Railway. At Ehingen (Donau), the line leaves what is known as the Danube valley today, and follows the valley formed by the Danube in times past, along the rivers Schmiech, Ach, and Blau. The railway again touches the border of the Schwabische Alb between Allmendingen and Blaustein, and meets its eponymous river again at the line's terminus in Ulm. The Donauradweg
