Wilsdruff railway station

Wilsdruff railway station is a preserved station building with architecture from the late 19th century, located in the small town of Wilsdruff. The former railway grounds contain tracks and infrastructure from the narrow-gauge railway that once connected this region.

The station opened in 1886 and served as a key hub in the regional narrow-gauge railway network until closure in 1972. This period was crucial for the area's economy and transportation needs.

The station building shows how important rail travel was to this region and how people once moved goods and passengers through here. Today visitors can see how the railway shaped daily life in this area.

Visitors can easily access the grounds with preserved railway buildings and the attached railway museum. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant conditions, especially when seasonal train rides operate.

Visitors can take rides on draisines where passengers pedal themselves along the tracks, experiencing the landscape from an unusual angle. This hands-on way of exploring the railway route provides a direct sense of how travel worked in this region.
