    You should make a Scenic Rail Playlist, you already have a Unique Rail one but a scenic one would allow viewers to easily locate and access some of the most scenic routes you’ve documented (Such as The Bergensbahn, The various Luxury Swiss Train, The Montenegro - Serbia Train and many others)

    The Sargan 8 is one of my favourite narrow gauge railways in Europe. Back in 2015 I was lucky enough to do the little used section of the line into Bosnia-Herzegovinia. We had steam all the way and it must have been the only place in the 21st Centenary where you could do a steam hauled narrow gauge boarder crossing!

    Hello, I'm from Bulgaria and I advise you to try the Bulgarian narrow gauge called "Tesnolineikata" train from "Septemvri" to "Dobrinishte" . Its beautifully preserved and they regularly have festive/holiday trains with steam locomotive.

    • @ricktownend9144
      @ricktownend9144 Месяц назад +1

      Yes, the Tesnolineika (means 'narrow line') is also really worth a visit. It's still a real railway, run by the national rail company and serving the scattered mountain communities through which it passes, plus the major towns of Vellingrad and Bansko. Like the Šargan Eight it is 760mm (Bosnian gauge) - the UK equivalent is 2.6" (762mm), used by the Sittingbourne railway in Kent and the Welshpool and Llanfair in Wales: I wonder if those are twinned with any continental European railways? Similarly, the Tesnolineika has 4 trains a day (plus an extra for only half the line) - and that's more than there are buses! The full journey is 125km. There is no figure eight, but several loops, twist and turns, and it serves Avramovo, the highest station in the Balkans. Lot's of youtube videos about it.

      @nanderv Месяц назад +1

      Aww yea, that railway was a main highlight of my trip back in 2017 or something. Amazing trains, very good views (though the views in Serbia are slightly cooler even).

  • @nanderv
    @nanderv Месяц назад +1

    I've taken this one as well :). It's amazing.
    The stations on this line are not beautifully preserved btw, they are rebuilt.
    As for getting there btw, I went there by public transit, taking a bus from Sarajevo to Uzice, but convincing the bus driver to make an extra unscheduled stop in Mokra Gora. Thus, while the regularly possible route is bus from Sarajevo/Belgrade to Uzice and then a regional bus to Mokra Gora (which goes twice a day), you may be able to get (at least into) Mokra Gora directly from Sarajevo, as well as Belgrade.

    This is not an ordinary railway, but a railway museum with a restored museum train and locomotives. It is a mixture of rustic and vitange and it is suposed to look like that. Šarganska osmica is a museum-tourist complex of narrow-gauge railways, restored sections of the former railroad connecting Belgarde with Užice, Višegrad, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Zelenika. It is also specific because it makes a figure / shape eight. The railway is categorized as a museum-tourist railway. The museum railway passes through the protected nature park of Mokra Gora and Šargan, which is located on the triple border of the slopes of Zlatibor, Tara and Zlatar, from the top of which "Golo brdo" offers a view towards the canyon of the river Uvac, known for one of the largest sustainable habitats of the griffon vulture. The 25-meter-high Veliki Skakavac waterfall is located on the Kamišna river, which rises on the Zlatibor peak of Viagora, which continues winding towards Mokra Gora, sharing the eighth place among the highest waterfalls in Serbia. Not far from the Mokra Gora station, there is a film village in the ethnic style called Drvengrad, with a view of the station and the Šarganska osmica railway. There is also healing spring Bele Vode. In 2021, Mokra Gora was declared the best and most beautiful tourist village in the world by the World Tourism Organization of the United Nations in Madrid.

    I have never heard of this one but now I would be so excited to get on this train myself, next summer. Plus, while you're right that this is comparatively expensive and the reason being, that this is a maintained tourist attraction, let's also be fair and say: even if this was a commuter train, for tourists, it would still be fairly cheap =)

The newest renowated railway in Serbia is the high-speed railway Belgrade - Novi Sad - Subotica - border with Hungary (200 km/h).
