The Zeitz–Camburg railway was a branch line in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. It ran from Zeitz an der Elster via Osterfeld to Camburg an der Saale and thus formed a cross connection between the Leipzig–Probstzella railway and the Großheringen–Saalfeld railway.

Drinking Water at the Former Osterfeld Train Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The water has a strange taste and is lukewarm. This doesn't improve if you tap a few liters and throw them away. I suspect that the supply line is not buried deep enough or that the tap allows the water to be heated. Legionella bacteria form at temperatures above 20 degrees and that's why I'm going to avoid the tap. There is a cemetery at the entrance to Haardorf. You're better off with fresh drinking water there. Everyone should think for themselves whether they want to tap from the blue column.

The Teufelstein near Waldau

In ancient times people were righteous and good, and the devil often had to go to great lengths to destroy someone in his heart so that he could take him to hell. So he once tried to catch the inhabitants of the village of Waldau, which is close to Osterfeld, in sins, but the forest farmers remained honest and pious. The evil man was furious about this. He broke a huge boulder high in the mountains and hurled it against Waldau. But he had taken the distance too short. The stone fell to earth with tremendous force and broke into several pieces. From that time on he left the Waldauer in peace. Later, the farmers tried unsuccessfully to move the rocks away from their fields. It was not possible because the devil was holding the blocks and much, much later, the scratch marks of the devil were recognized in these stones.
