Fire in Saxon Switzerland, in the Harz Mountains and now also in the Zittau Mountains. The organizers and visitors of the Historik Mobil in the Zittau Mountains were in for a huge shock when a fire broke out on the Ameisenberg in Oybin on the opening day in the morning and the train traffic and the access road to Oybin were closed due to the fire-fighting operation. Had the organizers' months of preparation been in vain and the numerous visitors traveled for nothing? Thanks to the selfless efforts of many fire departments and the use of a fire-fighting helicopter, the fire was then extinguished in time and nothing stood in the way of the opening on Friday afternoon, August 5, 2022. A great achievement! Numerous visitors throughout the weekend gladly accepted the organizers' invitation and always ensured that the trains were full. This year's star guest was the Saxon IK train. While elsewhere even the last operational Mallet is being parked, the Saxon narrow-gauge railways are taking a different approach and trying to present as wide a variety of vehicles as possible in a historic setting. The gem of the Zittau narrow-gauge railway plays a leading role in this. We can look forward to varied train traffic.
