The Marktredwitz station is an important transport hub in Upper Bavaria and a piece of living railway history. Since its opening in 1878, it has developed into a significant junction station, where international lines such as Rome–Berlin–Stockholm and Paris–Prague once crossed. Today, it connects the Nuremberg–Cheb and Weiden–Hof lines, making it an important transfer point for travelers in the region. What makes it special is not only its traffic importance but also its location in the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park. Numerous hikes start from here, for example to the Luisenburg rock labyrinth or to the Großer Haberstein viewpoint – perfect for anyone who wants to combine nature and mobility. A station with a past, present, and future – and definitely a place where you can not only arrive, but also set off. http://bahnrelikte.net/bst/bst.php?id=237
