The Zittau Mountains are situated in Southeast Saxony close to the Polish-Czech border. Daily trains connect Zittau to the health resorts of Oybin and Jonsdorf passing through attractive countryside and pretty villages along the way. It was snowing hard for most of our journey adding a little extra excitement as the loco crew cleared snow from around the points to allow our train to pass safely over them. Operations at Bertsdorf, the junction station for the branches to Oybin and Jonsdorf were particularly interesting as our locomotive preformed a complicated manoeuvrer in the ever deepening snow to change direction from the Kurort Oybin to the Jonsdorf branch line. This journey will be covered in three parts.
