Semmeringbahn Cycle Path

"The Saxon Semmering Railway is popularly known because of its incline, narrow radii, tunnels, bridges and viaducts, both the Windbergbahn and the Sebnitztalbahn in Saxony. The origin of the synonym lies in the Semmering Railway in Austria, which is now a World Heritage Site and the world's first mountain railway.The name of the Saxon Semmering Railway for the Windbergbahn goes back to the Saxon King Johann. On April 15, 1857, he completed an inspection trip on the Hänichen coal branch line. After the trip, he uttered the following sentence in his speech to the shareholders of Albertsbahn AG:“Well, gentlemen, now we are in no way inferior to the Austrians. We now also have a Semmeringbahn, a Saxon Semmeringbahn. “" - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Semmeringbahn
