Licht´l trips with the EAB at Schlettau station

· Organiser: Eisenbahnverein Bahnhof Schlettau e.V. (Schlettau railway station association) · Ore Mountains

Description

Schlettau station is open on EAB operating days.

The popular “Licht´lfahrten” (festive light trips) with modern railcars of DB Erzgebirgsbahn on 26 and 27.12.2026 mark a special finale to the operating season of the Erzgebirgische Aussichtsbahn (EAB) and to the year gone by.

Christmas atmosphere and winter magic – that's what makes the Erzgebirge  unique! Let the year draw to a peaceful close, pause for a moment and immerse yourself in the most atmospheric time of year in the Erzgebirge!

The train runs from Schwarzenberg to Annaberg-Buchholz and back. On the return journey a stop at Schlettau station is planned. At the line's unofficial main station, bratwurst and mulled wine invite you to stop for a while. Christmas music is played, completing the cosy atmosphere. On the journey into the dusk, the view from the window over the glorious, typical Erzgebirge Christmas winter landscape is simply enchanting.
