You can see a smaller forest railway with your own eyes in the beautiful forest environment of the St. Catherine's Monastery complex in Dechtice. The original railway had a track up to 70 km long, connecting the factories in Dobra Voda and Horné Orešany and continued through Smolenice to the forest. The Katarínka Forest Railway was established between 1898 and 1901. The locomotive last crossed the original line in the second half of the 20th century.

Thanks to activists from the Association for the Rescue of Slovak Forest Railways, visitors can still be transported by motor locomotive today, but not on the original line.
The locomotive runs on a pre-arranged date or occasionally on holidays and public holidays. The surroundings of the railway are nicely arranged and for visitors there are also information panels that describe its detailed history.
