Relax and enjoy a wonderful Sunday excursion while the landscape rolls past the train windows. The trip is run with a steam locomotive and teak carriages from the 1920s and 30s. Along the way you can experience a beautiful landscape and impressive engineering, close to lakes and water on one side, and steep mountain slopes on the other.
