visitors. And on Saturday, organizers of the event “Eiswoog on flames,” expect around 5,000 guests to come witness as the lake is illuminated in bengal lights.
During the event, there will also be musical entertainment, a fire show, food and beverages, and a torch ride on a special old train, called Stumpfwaldbahn, which travels in the upper Eistal valley near Ramsen.
The torch rides will start at 5 p.m. and will transport passengers on an illuminated route between the train stations at Eiswoog lake and Bockbach valley.
Next to both train stations and at the Seehaus Forelle restaurant, warm meals and drinks will be served.

The Donnersberger Drum Group will start at 8:15 p.m. to accompany visitors from the Eiswoog train station to the lake and back.
