Liliput Railway

Miniature railway to ride on

The highlight is and remains the Liliput Railway – a miniature train you can ride on. From the three-track station, several train compositions make their rounds through tunnels, over bridges and a viaduct, making the hearts of young and old train fans beat faster.
