Ride Oldest Steam Cog Railway To Rothorn

Sunday it was sunny day cool weather. My family with my mom went to Brienzer Rothorn mount at the 2,350-metre summit one of the romantic place in the Bernese Oberland offers fantastic views vast panorama. The Alps central of Switzerland, Titlis, Pilatus, the peaks of Bernese Oberland Alps, the lakes and top mountains Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, Jura mount all can be seen on clearly day from Rothorn.

To reach the Rothorn mount we rode the oldest steam cog railway, it was almost 1 hour up to mount Rothorn riding this kind of cog railway but it was fun, thrill ride and great experienced riding cog railway climbed to the Rothorn mount (2244m) with hissing, puffing, huffing since 1892. Offers lots of hiking trails. The 1,678 meters of altitude differential and 25% gradient without getting short of breath! Six tunnels and and two galleries make for a thrilling change during the ride.

Though the thrill ride with cog railway passing on those steep way is also rewarding at the Rothorn mount has great views spectacular mountains beautiful romantic scenic views.
