Oberweißbach Mountain Railway

Highlight • Monument

If you are in the area, you should definitely not miss the Oberweissbacher mountain railway. On the steepest funicular the train conductor even explains the route. Just great. Worth seeing is definitely the Maschinarium.

A beautiful little observation tower with a restaurant not far from Cursdorf and Meuselbach with a wonderful view. The new landlady bakes wonderful cakes and there is always soup on the stove 🥰
