Facts and practical information

The Härtsfeldbahn - popularly known as Schättere - was a narrow-gauge metre-gauge railroad across the Härtsfeld, located in eastern Baden-Württemberg, with continuation to Bavaria. The starting point of the branch line was Aalen; via Neresheim and Ballmertshofen, it reached Dillingen on the Danube after 55.49 kilometers. Passenger traffic ended on September 30, 1972, freight traffic two months later. The tracks were then dismantled. Two sections were rebuilt by an association as a museum railroad and completed in 2001 and 2021, respectively. The museum line from Neresheim to Katzenstein station at Lake Härtsfeld measures 5.5 km. When a third section to Dischingen station is opened, regular service at hourly intervals is even being considered.
