    Hiking

    The Weißeritztalbahn is the second oldest Saxon narrow-gauge railway 🚂 and the longest-serving publicly operated narrow-gauge railway 🛤 in Germany. The route has been running from Freital-Hainsberg near Dresden through the Rote Weißeritz valley to Dippoldiswalde since 1882 and to Kipsdorf in the East Ore Mountains ⛰ since 1883
