In 1902 a stump track was put into operation that led from the Lambrecht (Pfalz) station to the Sattelmühle. The track was later extended to Elmstein , opened in early 1909 and called the Kuckucksbähnel . The former Sattelmühle freight loading point became the Sattelmühle-Esthal station. The name comes from the fact that it also served the core town of Esthal, which is around three kilometers to the west. It was later renamed Esthal . Passenger traffic ceased in 1960 and freight traffic in the late 1970s. The Kuckucksbähnel has been operated as a museum railway since 1984 .
