Since 1848, the steam trains of the Zittau narrow-gauge railway chug their tracks through the idyllic mountain landscape to Oybin and Jonsdorf. The trains run almost the entire year and at absolutely fair prices, you can experience a real time travel.

This old train station is very beautiful. There is also a snack bar right at the train station. You can marvel at the steam locomotives as they enter and depart in the magnificent surroundings at Oybin.
