Ammer Valley Railway

The Ammer Valley Railway (Ammertalbahn) runs through the German state of Baden-Württemberg, connecting the university town of Tübingen with Herrenberg in the Böblingen district. It mostly runs through the valley of the Ammer river. The single-track, non-electrified, non-federally-owned railway is now owned by the Zweckverband ÖPNV im Ammertal (ZÖA), with operations carried out by DB Regio AG. In addition, individual services are operated by the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL), acting as a subcontractor for DB Regio.
