Pressnitz Valley Railway, Heritage railway in Erzgebirgskreis, Germany
The Pressnitz Valley Railway extends 8 kilometers through the forested mountains of Saxony, connecting Jöhstadt with Steinbach bei Jöhstadt on narrow gauge tracks.
The railway line initiated operations in the late 19th century to transport timber and mining materials across the Erzgebirge region before transitioning to passenger service.
Regular events at the railway stations showcase regional traditions, with local residents organizing festivals that highlight the industrial past of Saxony.
Visitors can access the railway through regional transport connections from Chemnitz, with trains operating on scheduled dates throughout the tourist season.
Steam locomotives pull vintage wooden carriages along steep mountain grades and through dense forests, maintained by a dedicated group of railway technicians.
