Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway
Zittauer Schmalspurbahn
A daily 750 mm narrow-gauge steam train that winds through the forest from Zittau into the Oybin and Jonsdorf hills.
The narrow-gauge railway opened in 1890 and is operated by SOEG. Steam locomotives leave Zittau Süd station daily, passing the Bertsdorf junction on the way to Oybin and Jonsdorf. The full trip takes about 45 minutes. At Bertsdorf station you can often see two steam trains departing at the same time. A single ticket costs about 10 euros, and a day ticket pairs well with hiking in the hills. Zittau is about 35 km from Görlitz and is connected by regional trains.
