    Hiking

    The Bavarian Railway Museum (BEM) is a private railway museum in Nördlingen, which in 1985 housed its vehicle collection on the site of the 1982 shut down railway operations Nördlingen. With over two hundred original vehicles, it is the largest private railway museum in southern Germany.

    Hiking

    In the vicinity of the "normal" Nördlingen train station, there are already numerous and very beautiful historic railways and wagons to visit on the open-air site. The absolute gems are on display in the museum itself.

    Hiking

    At the end of 1985, the Bavarian Railway Museum moved into the site of the former railway depot in Nördlingen. Little by little, a large part of the dismantled or closed down facilities and tracks were put back into operation. The depot site now contains (almost) everything that is needed for the smooth operation of steam locomotives and diesel locomotives.

    The Bavarian Railway Museum is not concerned with sterile halls and highly polished vehicles, but rather with bringing realistic railway operations to life that you can touch, experience and feel.
