G erman S ummer S team E xplorer

Come and relax in rural Germany in the warmth of summer and enjoy great steam action at a variety of lines. This is a tour not to miss. A summer sojourn of steam including rare visits to experience the standard gauge Hessencourrier line and an even rarer opportunity to storm up the very steeply inclined Rübeland line. Add in a private steam charter on the narrow-gauge Mansfelder Bergwerksbahn and a visit to Stassfurt locomotive collection in the former DB shed. All topped off with three wonderful days on the Harz Mountains Railway including steam around the Selkethal and the Hasselfelde branch.
