The Gelber Punkt hiking trail leads along the route of the Freital-Potschappel-Nossen narrow-gauge railway.
"The line opened in 1886/99 was one of the more heavily frequented narrow-gauge railways and was closed in 1972." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slimspurbahn_Freital-Potschappel%E2%80%93Nossen
At the level of Zauckerode, the loading building and a notice board have been preserved.
The branch to the Oppelschacht can still be clearly seen.
Today the path is a slowly rising asphalt stretch lined with parks, the river valley of the Wiederitz, alternated with small residential areas.

Info:
Today, most of the former route is reused as a cycling or hiking path. The entire sections from Nossen to Wilsdruff and from Kesselsdorf to Freital-Potschappel are accessible by bicycle. Some sections, like a large portion of the former bus shelters, have been completely demolished and returned to agricultural use.
