fully booked: Tempo 2027 – New Year’s Eve on a special train

Under the motto Tempo 2027, the Löbau association offers a special way to see in the New Year: a New Year's Eve party where the journey is the destination. Dare to do something out of the ordinary and travel leisurely into the new year on a historic Reichsbahn train.

The New Year's Eve special, made up of passenger coaches from the 1970s, starts in Löbau. The journey leads via the boarding stations of Bautzen, Bischofswerda and Radeberg to Dresden-Neustadt. Once the Dresden passengers have boarded, the special train crosses Dresden's Marienbrücke for the first time that night, with two more crossings to follow.

The journey is the destination, so the trip first heads to Coswig. On the way we pass the Dresden-Friedrichstadt freight yard and the Niederwartha pumped-storage power station, whose lower reservoir lies next to the tracks. We then cross the Elbe at Niederwartha.
After a change of direction in Coswig, we return to Dresden-Neustadt, cross the Marienbrücke again and continue via Pirna to Bad Schandau.

After another change of direction, we travel back along the Elbe to Dresden. Right on midnight, the special train will “park” on Dresden's Marienbrücke. With a view of Dresden's historic old town, you can admire the city's New Year's Eve fireworks from a prime vantage point. At around 0:30 the special train sets off on the journey home towards Löbau.

During the journey, passengers are treated to delicious food. Guests in 2nd class receive a four-course menu. We welcome you with an aperitif. To take the edge off your hunger there is an appetiser. The main course consists of a buffet selection, e.g. mini meatballs, small schnitzels, Schinkenbeißer sausages, mini frankfurters and various salads, served in a food box (subject to change). The menu is rounded off with a dessert, and later in the night there is a little sweet treat. At midnight, of course, everyone gets a small bottle of sparkling wine.

When it comes to entertainment on the train, everyone is invited to join in. In past years we have often been surprised by musical guests who provided their own entertainment with songbooks, guitars and accordions. We are grateful for any tips in this regard.
