My fourth, and final, trip on a DR narrow-gauge system was the 750mm gauge 'Fichtelbergbahn', with a track length of just over 17km from Cranzahl to Kurort Oberwiesenthal (the highest railway station in Germany); the line passes almost at arm's length from the former Czechoslovakia as it nears Kurort Oberwiesenthal.
