The Selketal delights lovers of romance: the steam-powered Selketal Railway has been running here since 1887. Its whistling and rhythmic stamping almost resemble staged music in the gentle soundscape of the forest. Climb aboard for a leisurely ride on the puffing narrow-gauge train. Relax and enjoy the view of the passing landscape as flowering meadows alternate with dense deciduous forests and massive rock faces.
The Selketal Railway is closely linked to the tourist and industrial development of the region. Discover the towns along the route, each of which has its own story to tell. Just like Mägdesprung. Here the Ironworks at the end of the 19th century – today an accessible technical monument – your wedding through the operation of the Selketal Railway. Other enchanting stations such as Alexisbad await you – getting off, lingering and enjoying are highly recommended here.
NOTE: The train only stops at the stations marked with a stop on demand. Feel free to use them, because it’s worth getting off at every stop!
