Scharzenberg Huzenbach

The number of photo opportunities is infinite on this route. Unfortunately, the frequency of the trams is very modest.

Another place I definitely want to visit again, with better lighting conditions.

This stop is between 2 tunnels, in the background one can already see (through the tunnel) the next tunnel.

Huzenbach Rot

The purpose of the photo was completely different: a wind blast ruffled the water, eliminating any chance of reflecting of the tram.
I know the place now, and if I can, I'll come back. With blue sky and no wind, this can be a great photo and better than this.

The express services, previously operated as tram line S80/S81, are now operated again by DB trains since December 2022 as route RB40/RB41. The stopping services are still operated with trams. This means that the number of trams on this beautiful line is now limited to one per hour per direction.

An on-demand stop usually means waving at the driver at the stop. Here, it works completely differently: the potential passenger has to press a push button, which will cause the driver of the tram to see a red light. There are a lot of local reasons for working with this system: the higher speed of the tram, the lack of visibility (due to curves), the very short stop platform (where only a small part of the tram can stop), the location in the middle of a dark forest, where walkers come especially during the day.

This stop is particularly tight: the shelter is in the middle of the platform.
