Kirnitzschtal Tramway
Kirnitzschtal Tramway, Rural tramway in Saxon Switzerland, Germany
The Kirnitzschtal Tramway operates on a 7.9-kilometer single-track route from Bad Schandau to Lichtenhain Waterfall through the Kirnitzsch Valley.
Starting operations in 1898, the tramway was constructed with electric traction after debates between steam and electric propulsion methods.
The tramway functions as the primary transportation link for visitors exploring hiking trails and natural formations within Saxon Switzerland National Park.
Trams run every 30 minutes during summer season and every 70 minutes in winter, with tickets available for single rides or day passes.
The system generates 30 percent of its power requirements through solar panels installed on the depot roof, supporting sustainable transportation.
