    The Edle Krone station is located in the middle of the Tharandt ramp, one of the steepest sections of the main lines in Germany.

      The historic train station is looked after by a local history association, which opens its doors from time to time. We learned a lot about the station and railway history.

        If you choose this place as the starting point of a hike, you should arrive by train, as there are hardly any proper parking spaces nearby.

            The Edle Krone station is located in the middle of the Tharandt ramp, one of the steepest sections of track on Germany's main lines (1:40).

            The history of the Edle Krone station began with the opening of the Tharandt - Freiberg railway line on August 12, 1862.
            The first station building was the building at the end of Bahnhofstrasse, which has now been converted into a residential building. The station's facilities had to be adapted to the increased demands of rail operations as early as 1872. Goods handling and loading lanes were added and switches were installed.

                The Edle Krone train station/stop is located here.

                Info:
                Ever since the Albertsbahn AG line, which previously ended in Tharandt, was extended to Freiberg in 1862, there has been a train station in Edle Krone.


                The train station/stop has become a popular starting point for hikes.

                Other information:
                The name and origin of the settlement, which consists of only a few houses, go back to mining. The eponymous "Edle Crone" mine was first mentioned in 1557. The mining of silver ore here, at the confluence of the Wilder Weißeritz and Höckenbach rivers, probably dates back to the 14th century.
