Germany: Drachenfels Railway

The Drachenfels Railway or Drachenfelsbahn is a rack railway line in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. The line runs from Königswinter to the summit of the Drachenfels mountain at an altitude of 289 m. Besides the two terminal stations, an intermediate station serves the Schloss Drachenburg.

The Drachenfels Railway is one of only four rack railways still operational in Germany.

What a nice matching stamp! Definitely one of my favorite German stamps! This is Youth Philately - Historical Steam Locomotives (from set of three): Steam Locomotive PTL 2/2, issued on 09.08.2012.


Thank you very much Marco!
