Timber Truss Bridge Wilischthal

Highlight • Bridge

Train station in Steinbach b. Jöhstadt - formerly a stopover, today the terminus of the Preßnitztalbahn (former narrow-gauge railway from Wolkenstein to Jöhstadt); worth seeing the entire restored station ensemble of the small railway, especially the water house;

Wolkenstein Train Hotel

Highlight • Structure

An overnight stay in a train hotel is certainly a very special experience. You feel like you are on a moving train. Unfortunately, there is not enough space for tall people.
