Working group recommends barrier-free leisure experience between Mörlenbach and Wald-Michelbach
the "Senior-Friendly Bergstraße District" working group presents an attractive excursion destination for seniors and their families on the website of the Bergstraße District Senior Citizens' Advisory Council world's first solar-powered trolley railway between Mörlenbach and Wald-Michelbach .
A ride on the solar-powered trolley is a special experience for young and old. The approximately ten-kilometer-long, heritage-listed railway line takes you through impressive natural scenery, over three historic viaducts , and through two tunnels —a journey that takes about an hour each way.
Thanks to an assisted electric motor, no special fitness is required : As soon as you start pedaling, the solar-powered drive kicks in, making the ride easier. The trolley cabins accommodate up to eight people and reach speeds of up to 15 km/h .
Since stop signals and barriers must be operated along the way, at least one person per cabin must have and carry valid driver's license
Accessible excursion with beautiful views
The stations in Mörlenbach and Wald-Michelbach are barrier-free and can also be used with a walker or wheelchair . Wheelchair users can drive directly into the cabin – the staff will ensure safe boarding with just a few simple steps.
