141 years of Lößnitzgrundbahn: Radebeul celebrates with steam trains and fun!
Things will be colorful in the idyllic landscape of the Lößnitzgrund next weekend: On September 13th and 14th, 2025, the Traditionsbahn Radebeul e.V. association will celebrate the 141st anniversary of the Lößnitzgrundbahn, also affectionately known as the “Lößnitzdachshund”. This historic narrow-gauge railway, which has been running between Radebeul, Moritzburg and Radeburg since 1884, delights young and old with a festival full of attractions and nostalgic trains.
As in the previous year, when the Lößnitzgrundbahn turned 140 years old, a varied program will be offered this time too. On Saturday and Sunday, three trains will be in use for the anniversary: a historic traditional train, a diesel train with a shunting locomotive and a steam train that promises musical entertainment in the observation car. Both railway lovers and music fans get their money's worth. diesachsen.de reports on the anticipation of this event!

Special rides and attractions
On Sunday, the journey in the diesel train with musical entertainment will be the crowning finale of the festival.

Anyone interested in the history of the railway will get their money's worth: informative exhibitions and numerous activities are waiting to be discovered at the stations along the route.

The Karl May Museum has also prepared special events for families.
Another highlight is the organized hike at the Lößnitzgrund stop, which is offered by the Bilz-Bund für Naturheilkunde e.V. on Sunday - an excellent opportunity to experience the region around the Lößnitzgrundbahn in a different way.
