caption_attribution_description: English: Light railway near Eiswoog, Pfalz (Germany) (1)
context_page_description: The Eiswoog is a reservoir, roughly six hectares in area, on the Eisbach stream, locally also called die Eis, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is oriented from south to north in the water meadows near the source of the stream in part of the northern Palatinate Forest known as the Stumpfwald.
context_section_description: The current terminal halt (Haltepunkt Eiswoog) of the Eis Valley Railway, which was re-opened for tourism purposes, is only used at weekends. North of the dam, is the old railway bridge, the Eis Valley Viaduct, which used to carry the continuation of the railway towards the west, but this section is now closed. The bridge was completed in 1932 and was in service until 1988. It is 35 metres high and, at 250 metres long, is the longest railway bridge in the Palatinate. There is a good viewing point at its right-hand end.
  Roughly parallel to the Eis Valley Railway there is a 600 mm narrow gauge line, the Stumpfwald Railway, that is worked at certain times between Ramsen and the Eiswoog as a heritage railway. It has open wagons and is now a tourist attraction.
