In the footsteps of the Pforzheim Small Railway. Commonly also called Ittersbacher Bähnle. This railway was used by the "Rassler" from its completion in the year 1900.
The route follows the old historic railway track, which in some sections after closure has been built over by houses. Therefore, it is not suitable for hiking everywhere. From the Pforzheim Brötzingen small station, it goes along the herb gardens of the Enz river up to the city park.
