The Schleifkottenbahn is a 6.5 kilometer long railroad line from Halver-Oberbrügge to Halver. It has been owned by the private Schleifkottenbahn GmbH since 2000 and has been maintained and serviced since then. To finance the maintenance costs, the line has been used as a Draisinenbahn since 2015 to allow as many people as possible to experience the historic transport infrastructure.
The route is open all year round. Departure times (by prior booking) are daily at 10 am, 1 pm and 4 pm. A ride on the Schleifkotten-Draisinenbahn is a great natural and cultural experience for families, groups, company outings and celebrations. It is also possible to take advantage of additional offers such as archery or a barbecue buffet and drinks service. An overnight stay in a sleeping car is also possible, as is a combination with the Halver climbing forest or the Herpine forest outdoor pool.
The highlight of the trip: a trolley ride through the 304-metre-long Sticht Tunnel!
The start and finish point is the trolley station in Oberbrügge, Bergstraße 26 F, 58553 Oberbrügge. The trolley station is located directly at the DB stop Halver-Oberbrügge and can be reached by regional train line RB25 (Cologne-Gummersbach-Lüdenscheid), RB52 (Dortmund-Hagen-Lüdenscheid) and bus lines 58 and 134 (from Lüdenscheid, Kierspe, Radevormwald and Halver, Oberbrügge stop).
