Hi,


To the video:




February 8 2023

I spent two days in a holiday apartment at České Hamry, right next to the German border. After just a short walk you reached Hammerunterwiesenthal station on narrow gauge Fichtelberg Railway, snow is still quite common here at 2600 feet elevation.
P 1001 Cranzahl - Kurort Oberwiesenthal departing.

Classic arrival scene with P 1003. The Protestant Philipp Melanchthon Church had been built 1898-99, the only one named like that in all of Saxony.

Sadly, my video camera did not record the departure, so just one image before that...

To get there, I took the bus to/from Klášterec nad Ohří, then the train via Prague.
