“The machinist turns the crank, the car spins and purrs, a small jerk, then it starts moving…” This is a quote from 1907, when the people of Bolzano took the Railway Ritten to the Ritten high plateau for their summer holiday. Even today, after 117 years, our railway still runs between Klobenstein, Oberbozen and Maria Himmelfahrt as the only narrow-gauge railway in South Tyrol and as a popular, environmentally friendly means of transport.
