잉글리셔 발트 최고의 러닝 경로

This is no longer just a kiosk, but a proper restaurant that deserves praise and recognition.

The temporary terminus of the Schättere line is a great success. The association members are doing a tremendous job. A member of the association explained to me during a conversation that the railway will be extended to the former station in Dischingen. The station in Dischingen is also owned by the museum association.

The association has done a great job. A fantastic heritage railway.

A truly unique highlight of the association's more than 40-year history: the Katzenstein terminus of the "Schättere" (Schättere Railway), which entered into operation in 2021. Twenty-nine years after its closure in 1972 and complete dismantling, the first 3 km section of the Härtsfeld Railway, which formerly ran from Nerresheim to Dillingen, was put into operation with great enthusiasm and commitment in 2001. The second, 2.6 km section to Härtsfeldsee followed in 2021. Steam operations now take place on this idyllic narrow-gauge railway on selected weekends (see https://www.hmb-ev.de). Now that this success, which was deemed impossible and a crazy idea by some crazy people in 1984, has been achieved, Dischingen is now to become the future terminus of the railway – the old station building there is already owned by the association. The only downside: the railway line cycle path to Dischingen, which is beautifully shaded for large parts, is likely to get lost in the process…

A beautiful cycle path leads past the rock terraces

Geologically interesting, otherwise rather unspectacular

Always good for a hiking break. Good food.

After a leisurely walk around the Härtsfeldsee, it is a good idea to stop at the kiosk. The prices are reasonable. The walk around the lake is very relaxing, and not to forget the beautiful view of Katzenstein Castle.
