Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

The A 4 running south can be reached via the Hainichen junction (approx. 8 km) and the A 14 running north via the Döbeln-Nord junction (approx. 13 km).

Since the next railway lines were well above the valley floor, a narrow-gauge railway was planned in the Zschopau valley at the end of the 19th century, but never built. The overloading of the Waldheim train station with goods traffic from the paper mills (see also companies ) led to the opening of a standard-gauge branch line from Waldheim to Kriebethal in 1896 , on which excursion traffic also took place until 1919. In 1998 the freight traffic was stopped, in 2004 the line was converted to narrow gauge.

Kriebstein is in the area of ​​the Central Saxony transport association . There are bus connections to Waldheim, Mittweida and Hainichen, and on weekends to Chemnitz.

The Kriebsteiner Straße (section of the K 8215 road at Kriebstein Castle) is one of the steepest in Germany with a signposted slope of 25%.
