The old railway line has many faces: beautiful natural areas, lovingly restored farmsteads and houses in the villages, as well as the manor in Endschütz.

In Seelingstädt, the model railway club vividly addresses the theme “railway” and delights not just “little” people. The paths lead over streets and country roads, developed cycle paths through gentle hilly landscape over about 25 km length.
