A small underpass beneath the railway tracks, which, contrary to Siegfried's statement, is only suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. It's the smallest tunnel I've seen so far on my travels through Germany :-).

The Kinzig is a river approximately 86 kilometers long. It originates in Sterbfritz, flows through the Hessian Main-Kinzig district in a southwesterly direction, and flows into the Main river in Hanau from the right. The Kinzig is a second-order Mittelgebirge river. It overcomes 301 meters of elevation and has a bed gradient of 3.5 per mille. The catchment area of the Kinzig is 1058 square kilometers, and the calculated mean discharge (MQ) at the Kinzig estuary is 10.97 cubic meters per second. The Kinzig was first mentioned in a document in 796 as „iuxta fluvium Kincihen“. In 815 it was written as „Chinzicha“, around 900 as „Kincicha“/„Kinzicham“, in 1364 as „Kinzige“, in 1584 as „Kintzig“, in 1607 as „Bintz“, in 1681 as „Kintz“, in 1716 as „Kins“, in 1769 as „Kinzing“, and in 1802 as „Kinzig“. In the river's source area, there was the village of Kinzig, which no longer exists today and is mentioned in 815 as „Chirizichheimero“. The village and the river were often confused by the monastery scribes of that time with „Chizzicha“ (today Bad Kissingen), which were all described as being located in the Saalegau. Presumably, the name derives from the proto-Celtic *ku̯anti̯o- for „flat hill, valley“. The naming was therefore based on the mountain landscape from which the Kinzig emerges. Source: Wikipedia
