Ferrovie - Austria: libri illustrati di storia e guide

Alpenbahnen

Travelling through the Alps by train - something that is taken for granted today - once required pioneering work in railway construction. Every single Alpine railway - from the Semmering Railway in the east to the Tenda Railway in the west - is considered a technical masterpiece.

This illustrated book shows trains in the wild nature of the Alps between rugged high mountains, glittering Swiss glaciers and the French Maritime Alps. On spectacular routes, dizzyingly high bridges and viaducts, technology and history meet the majestic mountain world - a unique combination!

Türen schließen! - Die schönsten Bergbahnen der Alpen

Un viaggio in treno fino alla vetta è tra le esperienze ferroviarie più suggestive che i passeggeri possano vivere. Karl-W. Koch racconta il fascino delle ferrovie di montagna nelle Alpi, che ha visitato personalmente con la sua macchina fotografica.

Non solo ha scattato fotografie impressionanti delle impegnative operazioni ferroviarie tra le montagne, ma ha anche avuto accesso a officine e depositi normalmente chiusi ai visitatori. Descrive vividamente le linee, la loro progettazione, costruzione e storia. Si addentra persino nella complessa tecnologia a cremagliera. Un libro che invita a intraprendere un viaggio tra le montagne.
