Description
St Nicholas in Karlsbad
The special train starts in Dresden (probably hauled by steam locomotive 23 1097 from Glauchau) and travels via Chemnitz, Zwickau and Bad Brambach into the Czech Republic. It continues to Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad), and from there the journey leads via Sokolov (Falkenau) to Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad).
On the Czech section of the line, a historic Czech diesel locomotive of ČSD class T679, nicknamed “Sergej”, assists the train.
Karlovy Vary, the largest town of the Bohemian spa triangle, has numerous sights such as the thermal springs, the spa colonnades, the Grandhotel Pupp, the Diana lookout tower and much more.
The organiser is planning optional guided city tours and a visit with tasting at the producer of the famous “Karlsbader Becherovka”.
The walk along the central Mill Colonnade is especially lovely: this is where the Christmas market is held, and the whole old town is festively decorated.
This trip uses classic compartment coaches and a dining car. Seat reservation is included in the fare.
The special trip, initiated by members of the IG Bw Dresden-Altstadt e.V., is organised by the association Flügelradradtouristik e.V.
Group of 4: 488,– euros from Dresden and 448,– euros from Chemnitz and Zwickau
Child 59,– euros from Dresden and 49,– euros from Chemnitz and Zwickau
seat reservation is included in the fare
