      Construction of the railway from Grünstädtel to Oberrittersgrün began in April 1888. Due to the narrow valley, only a Saxon narrow-gauge railway with a 750 mm gauge was feasible. Popularly known as the "Pöhler Pussel," it ran 9.36 km through the valley for over 82 years until its closure in 1971. In 1972, the first Saxon narrow-gauge railway museum was inaugurated at the Rittersgrün terminus station to commemorate the railway. In addition to information on Saxon history, the museum is dedicated to the transportation system of the Ore Mountains.
