Tirolean Rails.

The Achenseebahn terminus on the shores of the Achensee

  The railway station at Jenbach, in the Austrian Tirol, is really three stations. It’s a mainline station on the line between Munich, Germany and Verona, Italy. But also, to the south runs the narrow-gauge Zillertalbahn. This railway is an integral part of the area’s public transport system, although steam-hauled ‘nostalgia trains’ are often run for visitors.

To the north, the steam-hauled Achenseebahn takes visitors up a steep rack-and-pinion railway to the beautiful lake Achensee, to connect with a boat for the onward journey.

If you’re ever in the Tirol, I strongly recommend a ride on one or both of these charming railways. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
