At the end of the day, all guests could feel a total surprise and enthusiasm.
A huge success for us!
Many Rathen guests did not line up at the ferry, but rather let themselves be guided through the construction site of the Railway Worlds in the health resort of Rathen.

Some guests, here Uwe Kunze with parents from Taucha near Leipzig, had come from far away to take advantage of the unique opportunity.
René and his dad had their hands full with sometimes stormy gusts to avoid major "delays" on the moving trains.
Margot, Carmen, Christine and Petra took care of the physical well-being at the entrance. Many guests stayed with us with Swabian Maultaschen, wine and beer.

Of course, in addition to the huge dimensions of the whole facility, the moving trains in particular delighted the guests.
