☆ Right on the edge of the forest... to Oberholz. With outdoor facilities for cyclists... a good stopping point.

The wooded area known as Oberholz promises hiking fun along several themed trails. Children can romp around on the playground at the edge of the forest, and the Büffeltränke (Buffalo Drinking Water) serves lunch, cake, and, of course, draft beer, almost within earshot.

The Büffeltränke (Buffalo Drinking Fountain) is located right next to the Oberholz University of Applied Sciences. It's only open on weekends. With outdoor seating, you can quench your hunger and thirst here. Simple, home-cooked food.

The Oberholz stop in the south of Großpösna takes its name from the Oberholz forest area located south of the station. The station opened on April 20, 1893, making it forty years older than the Großpösna stop to the north. On October 1, 1916, Oberholz station was designated a railway station. The current stop has a platform and a wooden waiting room, which is the home of the Friends of the Großpösna Railway Association.
