A day on the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway in Germany
Author: RailRyder

Today I spent visiting the Zittauer Schmalspurbahn (Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway) that runs from Zittau south to Bertsdorf and Jonsdorf and Oybin.What a delightful operation they run including their dining car with hot meals! I highly recommend a visit! The first three pictures are at the shops in Zittau.

Super series.  Danke!
Found the towns on Google maps.  Very close to the Czech border.

Very nice photos and video. Is this railway meter gauge or narrower?

Interesting couplers. Eliminates the need for buffers.

The line is 750 mm, or 2 feet, 5.5 inches.

Thank you for the clarification, I thought it looked less than one meter.
