Feistritztalbahn
BirkfeldWith the help of Club U44, the Feistritztalbahn is one of the few railway lines on which you can still experience classic car rides like in the old days.
Old passenger cars from the early days of the railway are attached to the snorting steam locomotive. Without a hurry, far from everyday life, you cross a particularly scenic area of Eastern Styria. The bold construction of this narrow-gauge railway results in many worthwhile motifs for every amateur photographer.
The Feistritztalbahn (Birkfeld-Koglhof) is one of the few railway lines where you feel transported back to an earlier era when life was still more comfortable and leisurely. Old passenger cars with wooden benches, originating from the early days of the railway, are attached to the locomotive.
Without haste and rush, far from everyday life, you traverse a particularly beautiful landscape in East Styria. The bold construction of this narrow-gauge railway (numerous bridges, viaducts, and tunnels) offers many rewarding subjects for every amateur photographer.
