...and it continues on the tracks of the Muldentalbahn. With Part 5, we start this time at the former Golzern train station. As with the last tour, we continue on the asphalted track bed. Today, however, there are plenty of cyclists and pedestrians around. However, we do find several kilometer stones

Today we start at Neichen-Zöhda station. After leaving the station area, the railway had to cross today's Friedrich-Engels-Straße, picture 3. We walk on the railway bed directly to the next station, Nerchau station. Before that, we pass the goods shed of Nerchau, pictures 9 and 11. An old loading ramp

This time we start at the crossing of the current Staatsstraße 11 in the direction of Neichen. By the way, we stay on the paved railway line all the time until Neichen station. It's a good place to cycle or to walk, as long as you don't get in each other's way. There isn't much to experience today either

Today I am continuing the journey to the Muldentalbahn from 06.06.2026. I start at the Goldenes Tälchen forest car park on the road to Dehnitz. First, I have to go back to the railway bridge (pictures 3 and 4) on the S11 towards Neichen. The track is still there. It's no use, I have to walk parallel

Today, the final tour from Herold station (formerly Oberherold) to the terminus station since 1906, Thum station. I must say, here and there my head was spinning when the original railway line is completely destroyed and built over. But step by step - the start is the station in Herold. It goes again

We start today at the old HP Venusberg-Spinnerei. Today a nice large parking lot. The last remnant from the good old days is just the locomotive shed, picture 85. By the way, Komot has once again changed the order of the pictures, pictures 84, 85, 86 and 87 should actually be the first 3 pictures. I

We start today at HP Grießbach. This stop once had 3 tracks, and besides the waiting hall, there was also an outdoor toilet. The main track ran on what is now the grass verge and approached the Wilisch with a slight right curve, picture 2. The bridge must have stood where the railing, picture 4, is

The beginning has been made. After I had long avoided the entire Thumer narrow-gauge network, I have now decided to finally start with the Wilischthalbahn section. The last passenger train ran on May 27, 1972.
Here we go - The start is at Wilischthal station. Here you can still find some track remnants

07.06.2026 Besuch des Festes "150 Jahre Muldentalbahn" am Bahnhof in Wechselburg
Na, das passt doch. Erst am gestrigen Sonnabend der Start zum Abwandern der gesamten Bahnstrecke der Muldentalbahn ab Wurzen und heute der Besuch des Bahnhoffestes zu Ehren des 150jährigen Bestehens dieser Bahnstrecke. Das war ganz toll und wirklich interessant. Gespendet habe ich ganz nebenbei auch etwas für den Erhalt des…

If the railway were to be put back into operation, that would be very, very nice!! By the way, I have already cycled on the cycle path (photo 22).

erste kleine Wanderung 2026- Vorwandern Muldentalbahn
Das nennt man wohl "Vorwandern". Neben den ehemaligen Bimmelbahnen laufe ich ja auch ganz gerne mal auf alten Normalspuren. Ich hab mir mal die landschaftlich sehr schöne Muldentalbahn ausgesucht. Sie verlief einst von Wurzen bis Glauchau. Diese traumhaft schöne Bahnstrecke stillzulegen, war ein Verbrechen an der Bahnkultur.
Das war heute…

@Dirk I'm excited to hear your reports and see your photos when you hike the entire 85 km from Wurzen to Glauchau.
Do you know the Roßwein–Niederwiesa railway line? or have you already hiked here? I found the section to Hainichen very interesting with the many bridges.

Well, the work is done. It's a shame, really; this railway line truly deserved the name "Panoramabahn". I've had the opportunity to experience some very beautiful, but also exciting tours. The distant views were breathtaking, and the hikes around the old, but unfortunately destroyed, steel bridges were

Why does Komoot annoy me so much? First, I go to the trouble of adding a comment to each photo, as usual. Then all the photos are gone. Then all the photos are duplicated, one with my comment and one without. Now I've painstakingly deleted all the duplicate photos without a comment. I hope everything

Since I couldn't find a suitable parking space near the other side of the Göckeritztal Bridge, I once again had to "clean up the field from behind." So, the start isn't at the abutment of the Göckeritztal Bridge, but conveniently at the actual destination, Elterlein Station. The start is at 12 noon today

Finally, it continues today in the Thumer narrow-gauge railway network. After the Wilischthalbahn, it's now: hiking on the route between Schönfeld/Wiesa and Meinersdorf. However, we're approaching it from the rear and starting at the Meinersdorf train station. Parking is better here. Well, nothing is
