The Wallwitz-Wettin railway line was a single-track, non-electrified branch line in Saxony-Anhalt. The approximately nine-kilometer branch line was opened in 1903 and ran from Wallwitz on the Halle-Vienenburg railway line to Wettin. In 1971 the line was closed.

Hiking

Traces of the tracks can still be found on the former route; the rock cuts and the thoughts about the effort involved in their creation are impressive.
