Steam locomotive action at the city festival: Döllnitzbahn ensures nostalgia!
Next weekend, Mügeln will be transformed into a lively festival. The city festival takes place on August 16th and 17th, attracting both locals and visitors to the charming city. A highlight of the festival will be the Döllnitzbahn, which will use its steam locomotive 99 1058 for special trips to the event. This nostalgic locomotive commutes between Oschatz and Mügeln three times a day, with additional trips to Kemmlitz and Glossen offered once a day.
The steam train not only brings nostalgic trains into the city, it also ensures that visitors can easily get to the festivities. The trains stop at the Mügeln-Stadt stop, which is close to the action. Overall, there are different departure times from Oschatz that participants can use: departures from Oschatz main station are at 10:43 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., while departures from Oschatz-Süd take place at 10:47 a.m. and 1:49 p.m.
Exciting rides and tickets
Special rides await all adventurers. A short trip to Glossen from Mügeln-Stadt is possible at 11.39 a.m., followed by a return after about 30 minutes. If you want to have more time, you can leave for Kemmlitz at 3:03 p.m. and return at 4:06 p.m. Tickets are sold conveniently on the train and you can use the Deutschlandticket as well as day and season tickets from the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund and Sachsentickets. However, a small steam surcharge is required, which amounts to up to 3.50 euros per person and direction of travel.
Such a combination of tradition and celebration is not only good for the mood, but also ensures that visitors can enjoy the benefits of the Döllnitzbahn. Riding through the picturesque landscape on a steam locomotive is an experience that makes the hearts of many travelers beat faster.
