Description
On this special day for children, you are invited to take a ride on the Kohlebahn, hauled by an electric locomotive.
However, the end of the mining railways also brought together very different people, united in their wish to preserve mining traditions and to keep the once important means of transport of the lignite industry running as a museum and heritage railway.
Since then, thousands of people have enjoyed the shuttle service through an attractive post-mining landscape between Kammerforst and Auenholz, linking the small Thuringian town of Meuselwitz and Regis-Breitingen in Saxony, travelling in open wagons or in the stylishly furnished saloon car.
The association invites you on a special trip with the museum trains in the footsteps of the lignite industry.
