Bad Schwalbacher Kurbahn, Heritage narrow-gauge railway in Bad Schwalbach, Germany
The Bad Schwalbacher Kurbahn operates a 1.6-kilometer track through the Gerstruth Valley, connecting the Moorbadehaus station to the peat extraction areas.
The railway began operations in 1926 as a field railway to transport peat materials, replacing horse-drawn wagons that previously served the local spa facilities.
The railway association maintains the mechanical heritage through regular demonstrations, offering visitors insights into German industrial transportation methods from the early 20th century.
The railway runs from Easter to October, with first departures at 10:30 AM and final trips at 5:30 PM, carrying passengers in manually braked carriages.
The railway tracks required frequent modifications throughout its history due to changing peat extraction locations in the surrounding moor areas.
