The mine railway embankment on the Eisvogelpfad trail leads hikers along a historically significant route on a former railway embankment that once transported coal from the mines near Pohlitz to Schönfließ. This section of the route begins near the former excursion restaurant Schierenberg and winds its way past the horseshoe ponds, through dense forests and marshy areas. What was once a busy transport route for the coal industry is now an idyllic hiking trail that only hints at the traces of the past. The path is surrounded by lush greenery, and the thicket of nature has reclaimed large parts of the route. Small relics of industrial use repeatedly appear, reminding us of the coal mining that once shaped the life of the region. Especially in the shady sections of the forest, you can feel a pleasant tranquility, and the path offers numerous opportunities to be carried away by the silence of the surroundings. This section of the Eisvogelpfad is not only a natural experience but also a journey through the history of the Lusatian lignite industry. The vegetation that has reconquered the terrain creates a special atmosphere that appeals equally to nature lovers and history enthusiasts.

The former mine railway embankment in East Brandenburg leads through quiet forests and swampy landscapes that reveal little of their industrial past. On the path that once supported coal mining between the mines and processing plants in Pohlitz and the surrounding area, the large industrial operations are now barely visible. Instead, the hiking trail runs through quiet paths lined with dense greenery, where you can experience the changing landscape forms particularly well. The route offers a fascinating combination of nature and industrial history, as vegetation has slowly reclaimed the terrain that was once dominated by tracks and coal trains. The remains of the railway embankment are a reminder of a time when the Lusatian lignite industry shaped people's everyday lives and great technical efforts were necessary to bring the coal to the factories via special transport routes. When hiking along the old mine railway line, you can enjoy nature to the fullest and at the same time experience part of the regional history up close. Especially in summer, the shady forest areas offer a pleasant change, and exciting views of the landscape, which is shaped by the past, open up again and again.
