Weißeritztalbahn

The Weißeritztalbahn is today Germany's longest-serving narrow-gauge railway. It started operations in 1883. Since the Weißeritztal was too narrow for a standard-gauge railway, a railway line with a track width of 750 millimeters was used for the first time. The train still runs between Freital and Kipsdorf.

One of the highlights in the Rabenauer Grund.

For the little break 😊

Unfortunately there was no view of the train yesterday, but it is quite an experience to stand by the side of the path and the train rolls majestically by.

If you know the timetable of the Weißeritztalbahn, you can experience the passing trains here.

Hike with the Weißeritztalbahn to the Malter dam and back.

A highlight for young and old! Highly Recommended!

Driving a steam engine is always fun for boys big and small (girls too, of course!). In the summer holidays at peak times unfortunately extremely crowded :-( but standing room in the open wagon is still better than walking back to Hainsberg :-)

Very nice exciting ride and landscape with the little train.
