      The train station building is located on the border of the Czech Republic and Germany. Before 1989, it was only possible to reach Železná Ruda – a town. Only freight trains and people with permits were allowed to reach Alžbětín na pilu. The renovated building began to serve again after the revolution. Since 2012, it has been a European information center.

        The Železná Ruda-Alžbětín/Eisenstein border railway station was built in 1876-77 between Austria-Hungary and Bavaria, and was intended to express the good cooperation between the two neighboring countries at that time. It is completely unique - the station building is divided exactly in its middle by the state border. It was operated by the Czech Railways from 1918, but was occupied by Germany in 1938.
