Fichtelbergbahn at Hammerunterwiesenthal
It is a winter evening in 2008, in the quiet Erzgebirge-region village of Hammerunterwiesenthal
as, with a mighty CHUFF, this steam locomotive of the Fichtelbergbahn gets its train moving.
The steam-powered narrow gauge Fichtelbergbahn connects with the Deutsche Bahn at Cranzahl for the
steep climb through the Erzgebirge region to the ski resort of Oberwiesenthal. And, yes, that is a dining car!
