At the beginning of the 20th century, the railroad tunnel near Hohenhain closed the gap in the rail network between Freudenberg and Rothemühle. In October 1907, after just over a year of construction, the 400m-long tunnel was put into operation, making the road largely irrelevant. However, it was not to be eighty years before rail operations on this route were discontinued again. The tracks were dismantled in the 1980s and it would take until 2004 for the tunnel to be restored to its former glory. Today, the Sieg-Bigge cycle path runs through the Hohenhain tunnel, which is electrically illuminated during the day.
