Season 13

01 United Kingdom Episode 122nd January 2008 Newcastle – Hexham – Carlisle – Lancaster 02 Norway Episode 212th February 2008 The Sørlandsbane is the railway line, which runs along the Norwegian south coast from Stavanger to Oslo and whose construction lasted 66 years. We take the train to Kristiansand, the first part of which runs along the sea and fjords. Then the track goes more inland through higher mountain ridges. Kilometers of tunnels largely determine the image of this spectacular train journey, which is a continuous alternation of peaks and valleys of the Norwegian landscape. 03 France Episode 34th March 2008 Nîmes - Alès - Grand Combe - Villefort - Langeac A train journey on the shortest rail link between Paris and Marseille with the Cevénol Express. This line was built in the 19th century along the Allier River by the Massif Central. More than 100 tunnels and viaducts were constructed in this wild and poorly accessible area. This makes this train journey from Nimes to Langeac a good way to discover this part of France. 04 Italy Episode 425th March 2008 Italy: Perugia - Rome 05 Germany Episode 515th April 2008 Germany: Munich - Tegernsee 06 Switzerland Episode 66th May 2008 Interlaken - Wilderswil - Schynige Platte - Zweilütschinen - Lauterbrunnen - Mürren The center of the Bernese Oberland is Interlaken and therefore the starting point for all kinds of trips in the area. In this episode we travel with nostalgic locomotives at a speed of 7 kilometers per hour to the Schynige Platte, a beautiful vantage point over the region. Then on to the Bernese Oberlandbahn to Lauterbrunnen and from there to Mürren, the balcony for a stunning view of the Eiger and Jungfrau. 07 Switzerland Episode 727th May 2008 Interlaken - Wilderswil - Zweilütschinen - Grindelwald - Kleine Scheidegg - Jungfraujoch The 2nd part of the journey with the Jungfraubahnen. From Interlaken we take the Bernese Obertland lift to Grindelwald, the start of the Wengernalp lift. After that the train seems to crawl up along the grim walls of the Eiger, until the switch is made again at Kleine Scheidegg. Via the 6 kilometer long tunnel, the travelers are taken to the highest station in Europe at 3,450 meters with the overwhelming view of glaciers and mountain tops. 08 Greece Episode 827th August 2008 The famous narrow-gauge network of the Peloponnese is located on the peninsula in southern Greece.
