St Nicholas trips on the Brückenbergbahn Zwickau

The operating day in December 

On the public operating days of the Brückenberg-Kohlenbahn in Zwickau, the Brückenberg-Kohlenbahn Zwickau runs between the Sammelbahnhof Pöhlau, the Reinsdorfer Straße level crossing and the W3 signal box. The departure point for the public operating days is on Pöhlauerstraße, the access road to the Sammelbahnhof Pöhlau in Zwickau. A trip takes approx. 45 min; departures are every hour on the hour from 10:00 to 17:00.

The event starts at 9:00.

Food and drink are available at the Reinsdorfer Straße departure point.
There are tasty treats from the platform grill, along with drinks, coffee and cake and, in keeping with the season, mulled wine.

Only a limited number of people can be carried in the vehicles. For more information and advance bookings, you can contact the Brückenbergbahn association by phone or by email at info@brueckenbergbahn.de with the subject “Vorbestellung”.

After the operating day on St Nicholas' Day, the work is of course not over for the association: the 2027 season has to be prepared. In the winter months the line has to be cleared of vegetation again, which means that the greenery that has grown so vigorously this year is cut back in countless hours of work so that the clearance gauge is free again. The time until the next operating day in April 2027 is also used for servicing and maintaining the vehicles.
