Nice little train station in the immediate vicinity of the Fürfurt canoe landing point.
The special feature: The railway barriers (right next to the platform) are still opened and closed by hand using a crank and wire pulls (see photo) - now an absolute rarity in Germany!
The listed station building was actually built in 1862 during the construction of the Lahn Valley route!

Fürfurt train station is on the Lahn Valley Railway. The route and barrier keeper in one person still operates the barriers at the level crossing manually as soon as a train approaches, he also opens the barriers so that the passengers can get to the neighboring platform. This is so beautiful old world.
