Overview
- SDG confirms operations are suspended on the Fichtelbergbahn, Lößnitzgrundbahn and Weißeritztalbahn through the late‑November maintenance window.
 - Posted end dates: Lößnitzgrundbahn and Weißeritztalbahn return from 25 November, Fichtelbergbahn from 27 November, and Zittauer Schmalspurbahn from 28 November.
 - Work includes vehicle upkeep and track renewal, with sleeper replacement between Hammerunterwiesenthal–Oberwiesenthal and Friedewald Bad–Moritzburg budgeted at about €100,000.
 - Operators and local transport authorities also pause ropeway services: Dresden’s Schwebebahn is closed until 14 November, the Standseilbahn from 17–28 November, and the Augustusburg funicular for one week for winterization and training drills.
 - The break runs longer than last year due to savings, with limited Advent services announced before a fuller restart in March 2026.
