    Hiking

    The Kurwaldbahn was put into operation in 1979. In 2005, it was completely renovated for Rhineland-Palatinate Day and the two 25-person cabins were also replaced at that time.
    The railway is in operation every day between 6:15 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. and runs every 10 minutes except between 6:15 a.m. and 8 a.m. (7 minutes).
    The track is 220 m long and overcomes a height difference of 132 meters with a maximum gradient of 78%.
    There are three ticket options. Single trip €3.50, up and down trip €6 and 10th ticket for €25.

    Hiking

    The Kurwaldbahn cable car takes hikers 130 meters up the mountain for a hike with views of the Romans' footsteps. A refreshment stop at the Bismarck Tower is provided.
