Bizarre sandstone formations and the Elbe, which winds its way through the valley, characterize the landscape of Bohemian Switzerland. Since the middle of the 19th century, the railway has also been part of it, with its connection to Dresden, Prague and Vienna. In the film, we follow the tracks from Dresden to Děčín, enjoy the detour with the national park railway across the sea of rocks of Bohemian Switzerland, look through the train window at an enchanted valley landscape that even Caspar David Friedrich, the Romantic painter, was fascinated by, discover the Edmundsklamm with its protected flora and fauna, right on the German/Czech border, and we look into the history of Bohemia, when the brown coal deposits ensured the industrial boom and prosperity in the region. We broadcast this episode by Grit Merten with the number 946 for the first time on December 7th, 2018 under the title: Bohemian Switzerland through the train window. #eisenbahn-romantik #swr All statements and facts correspond to the status at the time and have not been updated since then.
