Abandoned Oberhof Train Station

Highlight • Monument

Since December 2017, no trains have stopped at Oberhof station as scheduled. The station building is decaying and you can watch the creation of a Lost Place here.

Oberhof Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

The beautiful train station in the Laubenbachtal is unfortunately decaying and is sleeping like Sleeping Beauty.
It was built in 1884 and rebuilt and expanded in 1910/11.
There has been no stopping at the station since 2017.

Drop Forge Zella-Mehlis Technical Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

An interesting technical museum all about the creation of forged workpieces. The tools and machines are worth seeing for young and old.
There is also a Kneipp facility outside. Here you can refresh yourself before the ascent towards Oberhof. 😉
