Südpfalz-draisinenbahn

Friendly, nice operators - that was great! (Although the 10 euro deposit should have been mentioned on the website - not everyone walks around with cash anymore.) Unfortunately, the ravages of time have taken their toll. The "stops" are rotten (see photos), offer no seating (apart from the first one) and no sun protection whatsoever. The trolleys have also seen better days - the savings bank advertising can still be seen under the already faded SWR1 print. The saddles (why not, like elsewhere, bucket seats?) are very hard, the handlebars (yes, despite the screw being tightened) are wobbly and the driving experience is also inconsistent, at least with No. 5 - sometimes heavier, sometimes lighter. The route itself was so-so - nothing special with the exception of the fawn we encountered. Then having to turn the trolley around and go back the same way didn't really excite us either. Conclusion: "Cycling" with only one gear on a heavy vehicle on hard saddles with the opportunity to take breaks only in certain places due to the single track - you should know that in advance and want it. At least we agree: Draisine - never again!

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time at the entrance :/ The route is run down, in my opinion it's dangerous at times. You have to open and close the level crossings yourself, but some cars don't really take the signals seriously because it's just a "draisine crossing". I think the price is pretty high too. Wouldn't recommend it, there are much better attractions in the region.
