Mittelndorf is a village in Saxony, Germany, situated in the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. It was one of the villages that composed the municipality of Kirnitzschtal. Since 1 October 2012, it is part of the town Sebnitz.

History

The oldest structure of the village is the mill (Mittelndorfer Mühle),[1] built in 1518.

Geography

Mittelndorf is located in the mountain range of Saxon Switzerland, not too far from the river Kirnitzsch. It lies on the road S 154, between the villages of Altendorf and Lichtenhain (both part of Kirnitzschtal). It lies 8 km from Sebnitz (in north) and Bad Schandau (south), 25 from Pirna, 27 from Děčín (in the Czechia) and circa 50 from Dresden.

Transport

Mittelndorf has got a rail stop on the DB line Pirna/Bautzen-Neustadt in Sachsen-Sebnitz-Bad Schandau ("Sebnitztalbahn"), situated in the forest close to the village. This stop has a rare peculiarity for a train station situated on a normal[2] national rail line: it has not a road to reach it but a simple forest trail. A similar thing in Europe could be found, for example, in the stations of Kloster Marienthal (Engers-Au line, Germany); Pertosa, in southern Italy; or Corrour, in Scotland.

The village is also served by the suburban tramway line "Kirnitzschtalbahn" Bad Schandau-Lichtenhainer Wasserfall,[3] with the stops of Mittelndorfer Mühle (at the mill) and Forsthaus, not too far from Mittelndorf.
