The old railway line has become a great bike path, even if this section is only slightly asphalted, it is wonderful to ride. From Limmmersdorf it goes slightly downhill to Muckenreuth. Along the route you will always find old relics from the railway era... unbelievable that a train once drove through this great nature. Especially how difficult it must have been to build this line back then...
