Bahnbilderstelle Altstädten receives mixed feedback that highlights its very specific purpose as a railway photography location. One reviewer praises it as an excellent spot for photos, specifically noting the beautiful backdrop of the Grünten mountain. Conversely, another visitor found the name and concept of a 'railway photo office' to be confusing or nonsensical. Some comments focus on the trains themselves, including mentions of delays or specific engine issues, which are typical concerns for the trainspotting community. The site appears to be a simple outdoor vantage point rather than a developed attraction. Overall, it is a functional and scenic stop for those with a dedicated interest in trains.
