Santa Claus ride
On December 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th, 2026, you will once again have the opportunity to meet St. Nicholas together with us.
The ride starts at our Eiswoog station, after you’ve warmed up by the campfire with a mulled wine or children’s punch.
You’ll then travel through the wintry Stumpfwald forest on our train towards Bockbachtal station, where St. Nicholas will be waiting for you.
After a story, a poem, or a few songs, there will be a small gift-giving for both young and old passengers.
Afterwards, the train takes you back to Eiswoog. From December 4th to 6th, Metzgerei Speeter will take care of your culinary needs at the station.
In the evening hours, our station will be illuminated in color.
Our trains are operated exclusively by diesel locomotives and only run on a portion of our track.
Advance booking is mandatory. No tickets will be sold on-site!

Important booking information:
After entering and submitting your data, you will receive a confirmation email.
If you do not receive this email within a few minutes, please contact us immediately at:
If you see the following message during the booking process:
“There are not enough seats available.”
Don’t worry — here is a little clarification from our FAQs:
The number of seats shown after the number of adults refers to the entire train, not just to the adults’ seats.
For example, if the booking system shows that 3 seats are still available, this means that there are 3 seats available in total. These seats can be freely allocated to either adults or children.
If you’d still like to join the ride, check back on the booking portal regularly – sometimes seats become available again for various reasons.
