The Trans-Harz-Railway is one of three lines of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system. It runs in North-South direction through one of Germany's most scenic areas, the Harz Mountains.

We didn't have enough time to take the ride. Our pictures were taken at the railway station of Sorge and at a railroad crossing nearby. The coordinates are those of Sorge Railway Station.

Sorge railway station also displayed this map of the entire railroad system.
