Самый красивый в мире железнодорожный маршрут в Швейцарии 🇨🇭 Brienz Rothorn Bahn 🚂

Описание: The Brienz Rothorn Bahn (BRB) is essentially a time machine on tracks. It’s one of the few places left in the world where you can experience a mountain climb powered almost entirely by steam.

If you’re planning a trip or just curious, here is the lowdown on this Swiss icon:

🚂 The Experience

Unlike the modern, sleek electric trains found elsewhere in Switzerland, the BRB uses vintage steam locomotives (some dating back to the late 19th century).

The Route: It starts at Brienz (next to the turquoise Lake Brienz) and climbs to the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn.

The Stats: It takes about 60 minutes to reach the top, climbing to an altitude of 2,244 meters (7,362 ft).

The Views: On a clear day, you can see 693 mountain peaks, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau trio.

💡 Pro-Tips for Your Visit

Sit on the Left: When heading up the mountain, sit on the left side of the carriage for the best views of the lake.

The "Steam Sausage": In a quirky tradition, you can actually order a pair of sausages cooked in the steam kettle of the engine during certain "Steam Sausage Express" excursions. It sounds weird; it tastes great.

Check the Webcams: Since it’s a high-altitude trip, always check the summit webcam before buying your ticket. If it's "soupy" (cloudy) at the top, you'll miss the 360-degree panorama.

🥾 For the Hikers

If you have sturdy knees, you can take the train up and hike down to Planalp (the middle station), then catch the train back to Brienz. It’s a steep but stunning descent through alpine meadows.
