With St Nicholas around the Czorneboh

Festive family special train through Upper Lusatia

This year the traditional St Nicholas trips actually fall on St Nicholas' Day. Geographically speaking, you travel all the way round the Czorneboh. At 557 m above sea level, it is the highest point in the foothills of the Lusatian Highlands. The name is probably an 18th-century invention, goes back to the Slavic belief in gods and means something like “black god”. We won't let these legends put us off and look forward to a round trip through Upper Lusatia decorated for the run-up to Christmas.

The historic special train circles this ridge twice. Starting from Löbau and from Bautzen respectively, the round trip takes us via Bischofswerda, Wilthen and Ebersbach back to the starting points. St Nicholas and Father Christmas have already booked their tickets and look forward to happy children and cheerful parents, grandparents and other relatives near and far who fancy a steam train ride.

Of course, food and drink are served on the special train. In 2nd class you can get drinks and a generous range of snacks. In the dining car (1st class), freshly prepared plated meals from the on-board kitchen are served at your table. Climb aboard our St Nicholas Express! In 2nd class we distinguish between open-plan coaches and compartment coaches. The latter have 10 compartments with 8 seats each, which are particularly suitable for groups.
