Information:
The Weißeritz Valley Railway, inaugurated on October 30, 1882, ran directly alongside the Red Weißeritz River. After Spechtritz station, it was rerouted to higher ground due to the construction of the Malter Dam, where the first train ran towards Seifersdorf on April 24, 1912. Since the dismantling of the last tracks of the old line in 1914, its embankment towards the Seifersdorf Valley has been used as a hiking trail.
