Sägmühle Railway Halt

Highlight • Rest Area

Sägmühle is a station on the Härtsfeld Museum Railway in Neresheim, serving as the terminus of the museum railway line to Härtsfeldsee.
The line runs from Neresheim via Sägmühle to Katzenstein, with Sägmühle being the temporary terminus until 2021.
The station is located at the former timber loading point and is situated on the edge of the Egau Valley.
On certain days, Sägmühle station offers connections to historic buses that travel to Dischingen and Katzenstein Castle.
The Härtsfeld Museum Railway operates every first Sunday of the month from May to October, with the 2025 season ending on October 5.
There are also service days on public holidays such as Ascension Day, Whitsun, Corpus Christi, the Neresheim Town Festival, and the Bahnhofshocketse (Station Hocketse).
The journey time from Neresheim to Sägmühle is approximately 25 minutes.
The line is 5.6 kilometers long and has a narrow gauge of 1,000 mm.
The railway is operated with historic rolling stock, including a steam locomotive from 1913 and a railcar from the 1930s.
The Sägmühle station is part of the Härtsfeldbahn theme trail, which offers a roughly 10-kilometer cycling or hiking route along the former railway line.

Katzenstein Station (Härtsfeld Museum Railway)

Highlight • Monument

The train stop is part of the project of the Bahnfreunde Museumbahn Härtsfeld - Schättere. As learned from previous discussions, the route is to be continued as far as Dischingen. Of course, that depends on how the funds flow through the EU.

Lake Härtsfeld

Highlight • Lake

The path around the lake is largely flat and without any transverse slope, the surfaces alternate between tar, gravel and lawn. The lake has a water surface of approx. 11.5 ha and was built in 1972 as a flood retention basin. Help for a wheelchair user is only necessary in a few sections.
There are several benches by the lake for a little rest.
