Tips

    The hiking route along the inclined plain could not be nicer: An educational path accompanies the hiker to the most important buildings from the German steam locomotive museum in Neuenmarkt to the Marktschorgast station. A technical monument in the middle of beautiful nature. It takes about three to three and a half hours for the somewhat demanding route with steep climbs. You can then return from Marktschorgast by train. Please only run along the signposted paths and never enter the railway facilities, because there is a risk of death. The railway line is driven at up to 120 km / h!

  • The "Inclined Plane" is located in the district of Kulmbach, it begins east of the Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg train station and ends in Marktschorgast.
    The steep section was built between 1844 and 1848 as part of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn and opened on November 1st, 1848. Because of the numerous retaining walls, incisions and stone dams, it is considered a technical masterpiece of its time. The construction costs amounted to 917,318 guilders. An initially planned steep section with a steeper incline and the use of stationary steam engines was changed in favor of a more elongated, flatter route. On the way to the Rhine-Danube watershed south of the Münchberg plateau, the ramp overcomes 6.8 kilometers of 157.7 meters of altitude with a gradient of up to 25 ‰.

  • narrow forest path along the highlights of the inclined plane. The path leads partly in the valley and up the mountain along, so that there are always different interesting views of the buildings and the railway line. If you're on the days when there's steam on the track, you'll find yourself back in time.
