The state border between Germany and the Czech Republic runs right through the railway facilities and the station building. The station therefore has two postal addresses: Bahnhofstraße 54, Bayerisch Eisenstein and Debrník 30, Železná Ruda. Very interesting to look around there!

The border station Železná Ruda-Alžbětín is a historic building in Europe, with the state border between Germany and the Czech Republic running right through the station building. It was built in 1877 as a joint station, lost its function due to the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, and has served again as an active, touristically significant railway hub in the Bavarian Forest since its reopening in 1991.

beautiful cycle path that is very easy to ride with a gravel bike. Coming from Miltach, it stretches a bit to Konzell, but it's nothing serious
