The Bayreuth – Hollfeld line was a branch line in Bavaria. It branched off in Bayreuth at the Kreuzstein junction from the Schnabelwaid – Bayreuth railway line and led to Hollfeld in northern Franconian Switzerland.
It was built from 1902 to 1904 and opened on March 12, 1904. The driving time for the almost 33-kilometer route was two hours at the time.
The greatest gradient was 19.2 ‰ between Plankenfels and Wadendorf.
The last trip, a special trip with a steam locomotive of the class 64, which was once used, took place on September 28, 1974, with great approval from the population. The originally planned continuation of operations in pure freight traffic was not considered.
