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.

Directly on the main street you will find the birthplace of Heinrich Geißler. Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Geißle, born in Igelshieb in 1814 and died in Bonn in 1879, was a German glassblower, instrument maker and inventor of the Geissler tube, a glass low-pressure gas discharge tube, also known today as a fluorescent lamp. Today his birthplace houses a local history and technology museum.

Finstergrund Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

On the disused railway line light (Piesau) - Ernstthal lies in the middle of the forest, the imposing Finstergrund viaduct, built in 1911-1913 from unreinforced stamped concrete. The viaduct is 197 meters long and up to 25.5 meters. On the track is now and then still trolley traffic with tourists, but basically you can walk over this bridge, but also from the bottom it is very impressive.
