Description

When the Ore Mountains glow with lights on the first Advent weekend, the Weißeritztalbahn invites you on a magical journey from Freital-Hainsberg to Kurort Kipsdorf. Along the cozy route, Erzgebirge traditions come alive: watch artisans at work, shape your own little incense cone, and warm up with a cup of homemade mulled wine by the crackling campfire.

The historic Bimmelbahn comfortably takes you from one Christmas market to the next as the wintry landscape passes by outside. Whether as a family outing, a romantic winter experience, or a brief break from the Advent hustle, this ride combines nostalgia, sparkling lights, and genuine Erzgebirge charm.
