Gäubahn

The term Gäubahn (Gau Railway) is used in table 740 of Deutsche Bahn's timetable, which covers the route from Stuttgart to Singen (Hohentwiel) and Freudenstadt. It consists of the Stuttgart–Horb railway (VzG line number 4860), the Horb–Tuttlingen section of the Plochingen–Immendingen railway (4600), the Tuttlingen–Hattingen railway (4661), the Hattingen–Singen (Hohentwiel) section of the Black Forest Railway (4250) and the Eutingen im Gäu–Freudenstadt section of the Eutingen im Gäu–Schiltach railway line (4880). Its name is derived from the various Gäu landscapes it crosses: the Korngäu (cereal-growing Gäu), which merges into the Obere Gäue (Upper Gäus) at Herrenberg, and finally the Hecken- und Schlehengäu near Eutingen im Gäu.

It is part of the overall network of the Trans-European Networks.
