Holzhau station

Highlight • Rest Area

The Nossen – Moldava v Krušných horách railway is a branch line in Saxony that was originally built and operated as a main line by the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company (LDE) as part of a supra-regional connection from central Saxony to Prague. The Royal Saxon State Railways carried them under the line abbreviation NM, which is the basis for the kilometering to this day. The section from Nossen via Freiberg to Holzhau is still in operation today. The further route to Moldava in the Czech Republic was shut down in sections between 1945 and 1972. The northern section from Nossen to Freiberg is also known as the Zellwaldbahn, the southern section from Freiberg to Holzhau is known as the Freiberger Muldentalbahn.

Holzhau railway station

Highlight • Rest Area

Ski resort and hiking starting point. A really beautiful Erzgebirge village.
This is also the final stop of the Freiberg Railway Company (FEG) Freiberg-Holzhau. This route used to go further to Moldova. There is now a hiking trail and a cross-country ski trail on the disused railway embankment.
