The former Lichtenberg train station now houses the information center for the Franconian Forest Nature Park. The station building is a small single-storey half-timbered building and is a listed building. In 1986 the entrance building, threatened with demolition, was extensively renovated. In front of the building there is a (somewhat oddly arranged) short train on the former track, consisting of a steam storage locomotive (Babelsberg 1969) given as a gift from the Rosenthal pulp and paper factory a few kilometers away in 1993, a passenger and a baggage car of the Donnerbüchse type a boxcar. Like the station building, the vehicles are also listed. In the station building, you can marvel at a model railway that reproduces the course of the Höllentalbahn in the Selbitztal between the Lichtenberg and Hölle stations.

This strangely composed train is right at the hiking car park, at the former Lichtenberg train station in Blechschmiedenhammer (now info point and stamping station). The steam locomotive is from the Rosenthal pulp and paper factory, a few kilometers away.

The Franconian Forest Nature Park Information Center is located in the former Lichtenberg train station, great and absolutely worth seeing exhibition. Bring some time to watch films or enjoy the interactive exhibition. The information center also houses a model railway system that reproduces the course of the Höllentalbahn in the Selbitztal between the stations of Lichtenberg and Hölle. Flyers and overview maps, toilets, a train ensemble and a Bavaria - Entdecker stamp station complete the positive picture.
