In this video, we're embarking on a fascinating journey to Weißwasser, located in Saxony, Germany. Join me as we discover the rich history of the Muskau Forest Railway, also known as Waldeisenbahn Muskau, which dates back to 1895. This heritage railway, now the longest 600 mm gauge heritage railway in Germany at 20 km (formerly 85 km), has a captivating history and scenic routes.
Our adventure begins with a ride on the unique Tonbahnfahrt, or clay ride, between Weißwasser and Schwerer Berg, offering stunning industrial mining panoramas. Despite my rainy 2022 experience, the sunny weather during my 2023 visit brought entirely different emotions to the ride.
Explore the charming provincial landscapes of Weißwasser and its surroundings, including Kromlau's Azalea and Rhododendron Park, the famous "Devil's Bridge" (Rakotzbrücke), and more.
Enjoy a 20-minute journey from Kromlau to Weißwasser.
Our adventure continues as we embark on the second leg of our journey, from Weißwasser to Bad Muskau, a 35-minute ride. Bad Muskau, located on the border with Poland, features a city park divided by the river which is also a border between Poland and Germany.
Explore Muskau Park, the largest English landscape garden in Central Europe, and visit the Polish side before crossing back into Germany to discover Muskau Palace, Neues Schloss, a reconstructed gem from the 19th century.
