Kirnitzschtal Tram
Opened in 1898 and now electrified, the Kirnitzschtal tramway traverses a four-and-a-half-mile course from the town center through the lovely Kirnitzsch Valley. Passengers can hop on and off the train for photo or hiking opportunities at any of the eight stops as it winds its way along the valley into the Elbe sandstone mountains and around the Lichtenhain waterfall. In summer, the train leaves every 30 minutes. The embarkation point is at Stadpark, on the Kirnitzchtalstrasse, a short walk from the Tourist Office and the river.
