Retzberghütte at Sippersfelder Weiher

Highlight • Lake

At the Retzberghütte you can rest well. There are always delicious daily specials and changing beers. Especially recommended is the "Pfälzer Burger" or for the big hunger of the "Giant Palatine Burger".

Eiswoog Station (Stumpfwald Railway)

Highlight • Structure

The Hentschel locomotive of the former Army Feldbahn (H: F), which has already been restored three times, is the highlight of the Stumpfwaldbahn. An army field railway locomotive is a special war locomotive for use on army field railways. -
With a year of construction from 1939, our Henschel Fabia is one of the younger and last steam locomotives. In the same year it was delivered to the German Wehrmacht for the Rehagen railway pioneers as HF 5 026. In 1946 it was parked near Nuremberg with many other HF locomotives. The machines were sold there as bridge goods. In 1947 her last years of work began in the Bavarian lignite industry in Schwandorf-Wackersdorf (Upper Palatinate) until 1960. She was parked with two other Henschel machines at scrap dealer Eckhard Schwarzenfeld (Upper Palatinate). In 1981 it was found there, bought up and made ready for operation again through laborious work. In 1982 she was able to drive on her own for the first time in Frankfurt's Rebstockpark (FFM). In 2018 we were able to acquire and transfer the steam locomotive. At the age of over 80, she is now panting along our route and enthuses young and old. Source: Stumpfwaldbahn

Eistal Viaduct (Eistalviadukt)

Highlight • Bridge

The Eistal Viaduct over the 395 country road at Eiswoog between Ramsen and Enkenbach-Alsenborn is the longest railway bridge in the Palatinate with a length of 271 meters. The steel girder bridge was built in 1932 and was in use until 1988. Since then, the section of the line over the viaduct has been closed.

Great place to rest and relax. There is a restaurant "Seehaus Forelle" with trout farms and a kiosk on the sunbathing lawn by the lake (with delicious cakes and more). Great place to relax.
