Schwarzenbach a Wald

The Naila–Schwarzenbach am Wald railway was a small branch line in the state of Bavaria in southern Germany. It ran for 9.88 kilometres from Naila alongside the Culmitz stream to Schwarzenbach am Wald. The single-tracked, standard gauge railway line was built by the Royal Bavarian State Railways and opened on 1 July 1910.

On 30 September 1973, passenger services were withdrawn and, in 1994, it was finally closed and dismantled. The timetable route number (Kursbuchnummer) for this line was 420g up to 1970 and 838 from 1970 to 1992.

Since Spring 2010 there is a cycle path along much of the old line.
