2. EZB: It doesn’t always stop there, make sure to take great pictures

3. Turning point: Get off and check out the old railway switch mechanism in the cabin

4. Tips

Going one direction is enough

The historic railway does two loops. One to the East (described above) and one to the West. I recommend to go only one direction, spending the rest of the time outside the train taking pictures of the train.

Taking the East loop is much more exciting as you will pass the European Central Bank, the industrial harbor and the former railway switch cabin. This loop takes about 45 minutes.

Check the map for details.
