The scenic cogwheel train journey from Mount Rigi to Vitznau is a must-see experience in Switzerland. Starting at Rigi Kulm, the highest point on Mount Rigi, this historic railway—Europe’s oldest mountain train—offers an unforgettable descent. The route winds through alpine meadows and lush forests, revealing spectacular views of Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug, and the majestic Swiss Alps. Though the ride lasts only about 40 minutes, it’s brimming with breathtaking vistas. The train concludes its journey in Vitznau, a charming village nestled on the shores of Lake Lucerne. From here, you can board a ferry to explore Lucerne or other enchanting lakeside towns. #onthemove #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride

During our time in Lucerne, we visited Mount Rigi, often called the "Queen of the Mountains," as the journey was included with the Swiss Rail Travel Pass. Our adventure began with a 30-minute train ride from Lucerne's main station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. From there, we boarded a cogwheel train that provided a stunning, scenic ascent to the summit of Mount Rigi. The cogwheel train is particularly fascinating due to its use of a toothed rack rail system in the center of the track, enabling it to navigate steep gradients that standard trains cannot handle. #magicalxmastrip #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride

On our first day in Alishan, we followed the recommendation of our hotel receptionist and took the Alishan Forest Railway from Alishan Station to Chaoping Station (沼平車站). This station marks the starting point of the hiking trail that leads to Younger Sister Pond, Elder Sister Pond, the pig-shaped old stump, and Magnolia Garden. Along the way, we were fortunate enough to witness a passing themed train. The sight of the beautiful, old-fashioned train winding through the lush forest was breathtaking!

Train enthusiasts will certainly not want to miss taking the iconic Alishan Forest Railway while visiting Alishan in Taiwan. The starting point of the forest railway is Alishan Train Station, a key transportation hub within the Alishan Forest Recreation Area. The station was originally built in 1914 during the Japanese colonial period for the transport of valuable timber, especially cypress and cedar, from the Alishan region. The railway was an engineering marvel at the time, designed to navigate the steep and rugged terrain of the Alishan Mountains. The station itself is a charming, rustic structure that blends into the natural surroundings. The views of the Alishan Forest Recreation Area from the station are spectacular. #chinatrip #100WaysOfTravel #chiayi #alishan #bus #mountainview #tripblazers #mytripvlog #nature #nationalpark #forest #train #railway #scenicride #scenictrain #mountains

Train enthusiasts will not want to miss the opportunity to ride the iconic Alishan Forest Railway when visiting Alishan, Taiwan. This historic narrow-gauge railway, built during the Japanese colonial period, was originally used to transport timber.

We visited Mount Rigi, which is often referred to as the "Queen of the Mountains", while we were in Lucerne since the journey was included in Swiss Rail Travel Pass. We first took a train from Lucerne's main train station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. The train ride took approximately 30 minutes. From Arth-Goldau, we took a cogwheel train which offered a scenic ascent to the top of Mount Rigi. The cogwheel train is unique because it uses a toothed rack rail in the center of the track, allowing it to climb steep gradients that conventional trains cannot manage.

Dalat is a hill city located an hour flight or an overnight bus away from Ho Chi Minh City. A popular destination that train enthusiasts should not miss is the historic Dalat Railway Station built during the French colonial period. It is renowned for its unique blend of European and Indochinese architecture styles. It houses vintage locomotives, carriages, and other railway artifacts. The only train route still in operation is the 7 km route from Da Lat to Trại Mát, a village known for the sacred Linh Phuoc Pagoda. The journey typically takes around 20-30 minutes. This picturesque ride offers scenic views of the countryside and the chance to experience a vintage train journey through the lush landscapes of the Central Highlands of Vietnam. #hochiminhcity #vietnam #dalat #train #railway #railwaystation #scenicride #tripblazers

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka has a railway network with a total length of 1508 km. The route from Kandy to Badulla via Ella spanning 183 km is often regarded as the most scenic train journey in Sri Lanka. The 7.5-hour journey meanders through cool misty mountains and vast tea plantations dotted with brightly dressed tea pickers. Reserved seat tickets in first class, second class and third class carriages can be booked online in advance. Most passengers in these carriages are tourists. Most locals opt for unreserved seat tickets which are much cheaper. We booked second class and third class carriages on two separate journeys and the carriages were clean and comfortable, but the third class carriage was slightly more cramped. Many tourists prefer to sit or stand in one of the open train doorways, with their feet dangling above the track. Most tourists alight at either Nanu Oya (nearest station to Nuwara Eliya) or Ella. #srilanka #nuwaraeliya #train #scenicride #ella #trainjourney #trainride #kandy #teaplantation #mountainview #scenictrain #tripblazers

After visiting Kaysersberg, a short 15mins drive you will arrive into the town of Colmar where this is nearer to the border of Germany where you be able to again see the many well mantained cobbled streets and timbered like medieval houses throughout the entire town. One of the touristy attraction thing to do js to sit the boat trips in the lauch river where this is a guided boat ride who will guide you along the river and he will also command you to bend or hide whenever it goes under a bridge, much fun really! This boat ride will roughly takes you about 30mins or so, but in this cooling fall weather, I don't see why not right! Also, there is this restaurant called La Soi, which thankfully we manage to get a booking, they serve this really thin crust pizza called tarte, which is their popular dish to order. Do give it a try when you are around the area, a much interesting scenic historical city with friendly peeps everywhere! #fallingforfall #france #colmar #boatride #scenicride #greatweather #foodie #historical #medieval
