Herzlich Willkommen
End of the holiday railway season on Halloween
(31. October)
For one last time before the winter months, the locomotives of the Ferienlandeisenbahn (Holiday Country Railway)
will venture out on Halloween on their route through the holiday region near Crispendorf.
However, they may encounter spooky characters along the way. The trains depart from the Ferienlandeisenbahn's
Festwiese station between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. and run at intervals of up to 20 minutes. Children in Halloween costumes ride free.
A free mulled wine or children's punch is also included with each ticket. Coffee, pastries, drinks, snacks,
and roast pork and grilled sausages are also available. Those who still get too warm or need to cool off after the
spooky ride can treat themselves to ice cream for half price.
The railway workers of the Ferienlandeisenbahn (holiday country railway) are saying goodbye to their locomotives "Crispi" and "Maja"
for their winter break, with only passenger traffic on the line suspended. In the coming months, almost 90 meters of the track will
be fitted with new sleepers and fresh ballast. The two locomotives and the seven passenger cars will also be thoroughly checked.
The trains are scheduled to be running again by Easter, delighting many young and old guests on a tour through nature's various seasons.
The holiday railway runs along the Wisenta and intersects the Saale-Wisenta-Plothengrund circular hiking trail.
The holiday railway is a good starting point for a short walk. From the ridge, you can look down to the Saale River, and the Wisenta Dam is within sight.
Locomotive Crispi travels along the Wisenta in summery weather. Meanwhile, the entire valley is aglow with autumn colors.
