    Hiking

    Since 1898, the Kirnitzschtalbahn has been transporting hikers, tourists and spa guests to their destinations. For around 8 kilometers, the meter-gauge railway accompanies the Kirnitzsch river on its course through the bizarre rock world of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from Bad Schandau to the Lichtenhain waterfall.
    From all stations, hiking trails lead to wonderful views, such as the Winterberge, the Schrammsteine, the Affensteine, the Kuhstall ...
    But the Hinterhermsdorf locks are also popular as a hiking destination. Many restaurants along the route invite hikers to stop for refreshments and to linger.

    Almost all hiking routes can be reached with this train and there is also some nostalgia.

    Hiking

    Pure nostalgia. If you can, you should plan the train into your tour. We are e.g. drove to the "wet ground" and started our tour from there.
