The 20-kilometer-long branch line between Bitterfeld and Stumsdorf, which opened in 1897, was a busy route for passengers and freight for more than eight decades. The branch line was considered indispensable for commuters to the coal and chemical mining areas of Bitterfeld and Wolfen, as well as for numerous agricultural businesses, open-cast mining and industrial companies. After 1990, freight traffic came to a complete standstill; passenger numbers were temporarily almost insignificant. Due to the poor financial situation of the state, the CDU state government canceled local passenger transport with Deutsche Bahn AG on October 1, 2002.

The path around the lake is so beautiful, the old blocks of flats in Sandersdorf are suitable as lost places, both worth seeing
