Betzdorf (Sieg) Station
Betzdorf (Sieg) station is in the town of Betzdorf in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is on the Sieg Railway (''Siegstrecke'') and is the starting point of the Betzdorf–Haiger railway to Haiger/ Dillenburg and the to Daaden. History The construction of the station began with the construction of the Köln-Deutz–Gießen railway and the branch line from Betzdorf to Siegen on 10 January 1861. As a result of the construction of the two lines, Betzdorf became a railway junction and railway town. It had a marshalling yard to serve the surrounding iron ore mines and it grew rapidly. Its importance as a railway junction meant that the town and station suffered severe air raids during the Second World War, resulting in two thirds of the town being destroyed by bombing. In one raid, on 12 March 1945, 61 people were killed. This attack was carried out by the US Eighth Air Force with B-17 bombers. From the mid 1950s, almost all of Betzdorf’s railway tracks and fac ...

High Westerwald
The Westerwald (; literally 'Western forest') is a low mountain range on the right bank of the river Rhine in the German federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. It is a part of the Rhenish Massif ( or Rhenish Slate Mountains). Its highest elevation, at 657 m above sea level, is the Fuchskaute in the High Westerwald.

It covers an area of some , and therefore roughly , making the Westerwald one of Germany's biggest mountain ranges by area. In areas of subsidence, it has in its flatter western part (Lower Westerwald) the characteristics of rolling hills. Typical for the ec ...
