Eva-Maria Niebler: The new voice of the Zittau Mountains!

On an ordinary Sunday in the Zittau Mountains, the Eibauer Beer Train attracts the attention of locals and tourists alike. Eva-Maria Niebler, a native of Upper Lusatia and passionate driver of the tourist train, takes her guests high up into the beauty of nature. The 37-year-old has lived in Waltersdorf for over seven years and has made her dream come true. “I bought my house simply after viewing it online,” she says enthusiastically, adding that she has never regretted this decision. The skepticism of her friends and family about her move, who thought she had moved to Zwickau, has now subsided as many of them have visited the region and explored the impressive landscape.

Eva-Maria is active as a driver in her sixth season. She tours the picturesque surroundings on her train up to seven times a day and plans to work as a mountain climber for at least four more years as long as her driver's license for passenger transport is valid. The Zittau Mountains offer a breathtaking backdrop for nature lovers and are not only a hotspot for hikers, but also a place where centuries-old traditions and modern leisure activities meet.
