If the old railway embankment were to be a cycle path in the future, it would be the most beautiful in the Ore Mountains

I did the climb early on Sunday morning and there was very little traffic. It was fun and you can cycle up the climb very relaxed once you've found your rhythm.

All that remains is the memory of the Beierfeld stop on the Zwönitz-Scheibenberg railway line, which had to be dismantled as reparations in 1949 on the orders of the Soviet military administration. For this reason, a small memorial train was set up on the road in 2005.

The Zwönitz–Scheibenberg railway line was a branch line in Saxony. The line, also known as the Erzgebirge Panorama Railway or Upper Erzgebirge Observation Railway, ran from Zwönitz via Beierfeld and Elterlein to Scheibenberg. Most of the line was dismantled in 1947 as reparations for the Soviet Union. The rest of the line between Elterlein and Scheibenberg was closed in the 1960s. Beierfeld station was opened as a stop on May 1, 1900 and was elevated to a station in 1905. With the dismantling of the Zwönitz–Elterlein section, it went out of service on August 21, 1947. The reception building, the goods shed and the loading ramp are still present at the location on the street "Am Bahnhof" in Beierfeld.[4] It was located at the northern exit of the town in the direction of Grünhain. At the station exit in the direction of Scheibenberg there is a small memorial train that commemorates the era of the railway in Beierfeld.

The Frankonia cable car was an aerial cable car in Beierfeld that was only used for freight transport. It connected the Zwönitz–Scheibenberg railway line with Frankonia AG, by far the largest industrial company in Beierfeld at the time. The location of Beierfeld train station on the Zwönitz–Scheibenberg line, which opened in 1900, was extremely unfavorable for Beierfeld. Due to the steep slope of the access road to the town, shipping goods was particularly difficult. That's why, among other things, the construction of a trackless railway or a pure freight railway to Schwarzenberg train station was considered, but these options failed in the planning phase. Due to the First World War, there was a shortage of horses for shipping purposes. The situation became increasingly worse, especially for Frankonia AG, which produced military items, as urgently needed deliveries of goods accumulated at the Beierfeld train station.

Here it goes steadily uphill for a length of approx. 4 km. Average gradient of around 6.8% and up to 10% on the steepest sections. Traffic can be heavy depending on the time of day. Asphalt is flawless.

The "König-Albert-Turm" on the 728 m high Spiegelwald is a worthwhile destination at any time of the year. 180 steps lead up to the viewing platform, which can also be reached quickly and easily by lift (suitable for wheelchair users). Located between Grünhain-Beierfeld and Bernsbach, the tower is the only barrier-free viewing tower in the Ore Mountains. On the 1st floor, the "Multimedia Cultural Landscape" invites you on an informative, virtual journey of discovery on 200 square meters. The restaurant next to the observation tower takes care of your physical well-being. https://www.erzgebirge-tourismus.de/

Beierfeld station on the former railway line Zwönitz - Scheibenberg. As a reminder, there is a Kö and an optional car at the station.
