    Hiking

    An experience and ideal for 1-way hikes in the Franconian region. The museum train is operated by enthusiasts, who are also allowed to assist with the fare!

    Hiking

    First put into operation on June 1, 1891 for the Forchheim/Ebermannstadt route; regional shuttles still run every hour here.
    Railway operations for the subsequently built railway lines to Heiligenstadt and Behringersmühle were stopped again.
    Historic steam or diesel locomotives have been running as a museum railway on the Ebermannstadt - Behringersmühle section since 1980 (every Sunday or public holiday from May 1st to October 31st).
