    The old railway embankment is a former railway line that leads from Freital via Gittersee, Kleinnaundorf, Boderitz, Hänichen to Possendorf. It was built in 1856 by Albertsbahn AG for the removal of the hard coal required on the Windberg. On the route you can go hiking, cycling, jogging, skating, or simply enjoying the view. The route is well attended on nice days.

        A beautiful route along the old railway embankment of the former Windberg Railway.

        Information:

        The line is commonly known as the Windberg Railway. The Freital East–Possendorf railway is a standard-gauge branch line near Dresden in Saxony, considered the first German mountain railway.

        Today, the old railway embankment offers beautiful views and is ideal for hiking and cycling.
