Osterfeld station

Highlight • Structure

The Zeitz–Camburg railway was a branch line in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. It ran from Zeitz an der Elster via Osterfeld to Camburg an der Saale and thus formed a cross connection between the Leipzig–Probstzella railway and the Großheringen–Saalfeld railway.
