Welcome to
The "Bähnle," as it is affectionately known, is extremely popular among Karlsruhe residents and visitors alike. A round trip takes about 20 minutes. **Please note: The Schlossgartenbahn runs regularly on Sundays and public holidays. Please refer to the daily press for further information. The service is not available in bad weather. A round trip takes about 20 minutes.**
The **Schlossgartenbahn** was built for the 1967 Federal Horticultural Show in Karlsruhe. After initially being operated by a private company, the **Verkehrsbetriebe** took over the little train in 1988. The operating resources include a diesel locomotive and four carriages, as well as the [**steam locomotive "Greif"**](https://www.dampflok-greif.de/), which is operated by a subcontractor. The railway carries around 50,000 passengers per year.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the Schlossgartenbahn, we had the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes. You can read about this in our [blog post](https://www.karlsruhe-tourismus.de/geschichten/erlebnis/schlossgartenbahn).
