Hiking

Terminus of the "joke trail". You have to look for the station, because nowhere is the word "cog railway" on the building. It is a modern concrete building.

Hiking

In Walzenhausen, the cogwheel train invites you to go down, a beautiful experience from the train to let the landscape work its magic on you

Hiking

The only and also unique railcar (approx. 65 years old) will soon be "mothballed", after which there will only be "driverless" transport.
