The Kirnitzschtalbahn has been taking visitors from Bad Schandau to the Lichtenhainer waterfall since 1898, always along the picturesque Kirnitzsch river. It is the only tram that runs through a national park.

Memories awaken here, as a child I used to drive the Gotha cars through my hometown. You should take the train to the Kirnitzschtal, so that the street is not blocked with parked cars and the beauty of the valley suffers.

If you want to go to the Ostrauer Mühle or the Lichtenhainer waterfall (artificial waterfall) and don't want to walk, you can choose the alternative Kirnitztalbahn
