Schiefe Ebene Railway Incline

Highlight • Monument

It is impressive to see what was done during the construction of the inclined plane railway line up to Marktschorgast at that time. This stone wall is huge when you stand in front of it

This wonderful section leads from Marktschorgast (Goldbergsee) to Wirsberg,
(begins or ends near the star chef Herrmann's Romantik Posthotel, if you are hungry),
The forest is well-known and very popular, a lot of walkers and hikers but also cyclists are here during the season (holidays), the cyclists / or bikers can then drive a little more slowly and considerately and can enjoy this beautiful valley.
The sun's rays graze the treetops and come only discreetly onto the forest path along the Schorgast; this results in wonderful clear and fresh air. The stream meanders close to the edge of the path and then it stretches again on a small meadow with a clearing, a bridge leads over the Schorgast and a bench invites you to take a break, next to it there is a signpost with maps and information on sights.
Through Wirsberg and then on the butterfly path towards Himmelkron completes the beautiful route...

🏛️ Schorgastbrücke Wirsberg (Wernersbruck)

Highlight • Bridge

The Stone Bridge from 1711 over the Schorgast, also called "Wernersbruck", is a technical monument and a masterly craftsmanship with a high rarity value.
For centuries, heavy horse-drawn wagons of copper ore and stones rolled over the bridge, defying for centuries all the water, ice drifts and even heavy tanks at the end of the Second World War.
