The Selketalbahn is the origin of the Harz narrow-gauge railways. The Gernrode - Mägdesprung line was opened on 7 August 1887. This makes it the oldest narrow-gauge railway in the Harz and closely linked to the industrialisation and tourist development of the Selketal. The Selketal is probably the most romantic part of the route network and is considered an insider's tip for nature and romance lovers. In sometimes adventurous track layouts, the railway winds in narrow curves through a pristine landscape. To the right and left of the tracks, rugged cliffs suddenly alternate with flowering meadows, picturesque ponds or vast, lonely beech and oak forests. From Eisfelder Talmühle, you can continue on to the Thuringian town of Nordhausen or towards Drei Annen Hohne, from where you can either climb the Brocken or explore the colourful town on the Harz mountains, Wernigerode.
