Oschatz - Mügeln - Kemmlitz

Rail with a magnetic attraction

In the north of Saxony, not far from the city of Leipzig with its trade fair, a small narrow-gauge railroad runs from the little town of Oschatz along the Döllnitz River and through the Mügeln region, stopping at what was once one of the largest narrow-gauge stations in Europe, in Mügeln. The great marshalling yards of days gone by can still be admired. And in Saxony’s largest narrow-gauge engine-shed, visitors can still sense the smell of the legendary IV K steam engine. On selected weekends and public holidays, the ‘Wild Robert’ sets off on nostalgic steam journeys along the 11-mile line.
