Rail and bike tour

The Wachau Railway is characterised by the fact that it runs through historic town centres and along rock faces. Narrow and wide spaces alternate along the route. This creates interesting spatial sequences, which we explored by train and bike. The alignment along the steep rock formations of the Bohemian Massif also presents challenges. Like sculptures, individual protective structures appear along the railway line. As aesthetic elements, they add a new layer to the existing railway-related structures such as tunnels and bridges. Equipped with cameras and a drone, we documented the engineering works along the railway, most of which serve to protect against falling rocks.
