Hiking

In 1887, the local railway line from Hof via Naila to Marxgrün was opened and extended to Bad Steben in 1898. As early as 1897, Blankenstein received a railway connection via Lobenstein to Triptis.

Due to the industrialization of the Franconian Forest, particularly the Rosenthal paper mill, an extension of the line through the Höllental Valley to Marxgrün was planned. From 1900 to 1901, 250 workers built the 6.3-kilometer-long Höllental Railway from Marxgrün via Hölle, through the valley, and via Blechschmidtenhammer to Blankenstein.
