#Tatra #Zakopane #Train2Tatra

Yay! Here we are, at the end of #Train2Tatra !
Now off to a few days of hike before another itinerary in the other direction:))))

#Zakopane

Approaching #Zakopane!

#Train2Tatra

Forgot to post my Krakow trainspotting earlier on...

Where old meets new... #KrakowGlowny

#Train2Tatra

Jezioro Mucharskie - looks a bit like Switzerland ;-)

#Train2Tatra

Dzien Dobry! #EIC1350 #Tatry to Zakopane. Krakow Glowny 10:19 - Zakopane 12:26, 135km.

#Train2Tatra

Arrivato! Something is weird about the roof and feeling of space.

Quick, off to bed. And tomorrow the last stretch to #Zakopane.

#Train2Tatra

#Katowice ... I wonder why it's not called Glowny?

We're spot on running on time. 👌👏 #PKPIntercity

#Train2Tatra

#Gliwice! And a #Pendolino through the window :-)

I admit, 05:00 - 00:00 is a bit of a stretch...

#Train2Tatra

😍😍😍

This city is B E A U T I F U L. My first #InterRail trip when I was 19 took me there. #Wroclaw sadly just passing by... Ce n'est que partie remise.

#EC55 #Train2Tatra

#Legnica! From now on we're on the historical Berlin - Silesia line. Station looks very beautifully restored. 👌

#PKPPLK #PKPIntercity #Dolnoslaskie

Now full speed to #WrocławGłówny. Train suddenly very fast and no more clonk clonk.

#Train2Tatra

In #Lubin we somehow did not manage to fit onto the platform with our nine cars. Caught yet another IC Przemysl - Zielona Gora who had to wait for us before proceeding on the single track. #PKPIntercity

#Train2Tatra

Sound on! Old rails... Clonk clonk... Such a nice lullaby. Between #Głogów and #Lubin (also single track). #EC55 #Odra #PKPPLK

#Train2Tatra

@diningcar Kotlet and Zurek (Polish Rye Soup). 👌

#Train2Tatra

Except for a slightly overambitious aircon, the atmosphere in the WARS restaurant car was pleasant as always. Two French ladies behind me couldn't believe how great the offer and service was.

#Train2Tatra

Didn't catch much of #ZielonaGora except of a delayed Intercity going to Szczecin.
And then it was 19h and therefore officially dinner time. ☺️☺️

#Train2Tatra

#Rzepin seems to have some hidden treasures. And a new stop just south of the main one called #RzepinMiasto.

#Train2Tatra

#Rzepin where the line to #Kostrzyn and #Szczecin diverges north. Looks like it used to have a beautiful wooden roof structure... We will head southeast to #ZielonaGóra

#Polregio #Train2Tatra

Last German catenary mast, and first Polish one.

#Train2Tatra #PKPIntercity #EC55

#Oderbrücke #Odra

#Uwaga! Let's go! #CrossBorderRail over the #Odra. #Bogentröt.

#EC55 #Train2Tatra

#RIC carriage 1st class. I was hoping for carpet. The seats are quite low, it feels a bit like sitting on a sofa.

#Train2Tatra

This is truly a #CrossborderRail carriage ! Amsterdam - L'viv anyone?

#Train2Tatra

And here it is! #EC55 EuroCity to #Krakow!
It earlier came from #Przemysl.
It says it has six carriages, but actually has nine. 🥳

#Train2Tatra

The small railcars go to #Eberswalde and #KönigsWusterhausen. Sort of a Brandenburg #circleline avoiding Berlin.

The new red train is for #DoberlugKirchhain. It crosses all the industrial areas linked to coal and steel industry like #Eisenhüttenstadt and #Cottbus.

#Train2Tatra

Back to the station! Another 45min to go. Wonder what you can do with that Steam Loco #Dampflok. Will it be my #Train2Tatra ?

Also curious about the rolling stock of the regional service to #ZielonaGora. Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of it. Overall some #CrossBorderRail activity thanks to the many EuroCity services to Warsaw, Gdansk, Przemysl and Krakow.

#Slubice is however not well connected to rail. I wonder why there's no tram over the bridge like in Strasbourg or Basel...

#FrankfurtOder

GDR cultural heritage left crumbling...
Lichtspiele der Jugend

#FrankfurtOder #Slubfurt

#Train2Tatra

...and of course it has a tram ;-) #tatratram for #train2tatra.

Poland is on the other side of the river, with the town of #Slubice. Locals say it's actually one city on both sides of the river called #Slubfurt. Cute ;-)

#Train2Tatra

#FrankfurtOder snapshots. Interesting place - the border town identity is clearly celebrated. Urban planning is an eclectic of Prussia, GDR and 90s sins.

#Train2Tatra

Now #DesiroHC to #Frankfurt(Oder) !

It leaves only from Erkner because of the works to build a new station in Berlin #Köpenick.
