前往巴尔干半岛最高火车站风景优美的窄轨旅行

[TsekoV]

作为自然奇观和自然世外桃源的超级粉丝，我总是在空闲时间寻找一些新的风景点。多年来，我一直知道保加利亚有一各很受欢迎的文化经历，我终于在今年年初实现过这种经历。这是祖国最后一条现存的窄轨铁路，该铁路穿过巴尔干半岛最高的火车站。当你知道这是欧洲最如画风景的火车旅程之一时，你会更加兴奋。

我想和大家分享我在窄轨线一天的精彩旅程，因为它不仅蜿蜒穿过原始的自然，而且还可以窥见当地的传统和习俗。

我和我的朋友们当时在 Velingrad，也就是所谓的巴尔干半岛温泉之都。当时我们决定这将是欣赏该地区令人惊叹的美景的完美时机，因为著名的窄轨铁路穿过了这个度假胜地。我们在Velingrad的火车站买了双程票，中午左右就上了火车。从第一个车站Septemvri到最后一个车站Dobrinishte，铁路旅行需要将近5个小时，而不管它覆盖的仅仅125公里。我们的旅行比这个有点短，因为我们从第二大车站Velingrad上火车，也在班斯科镇下车。

沿途的风景如此多姿多彩，以至于我几乎花了整整四个小时盯着窗外，不停地拍照。铁路穿过罗多彼山脉、里拉山脉和皮林山，因此我们有幸瞥见了它们的美丽。火车穿过森林、河流、城镇和村庄，穿过35条隧道、众多桥梁、数十处地标、度假村、山峰和矿泉水。

火车里的景色和外面的一样有趣。这些常客都是当地人，他们似乎把火车作为他们在乡村和城镇之间旅行的唯一交通工具。他们的真实面貌和我们习惯在大城市看到的不一样。他们穿着色彩鲜艳的pomak服装，这在穆斯林人口众多的地区很常见，给人一种置身于车轮上的民族志博物馆的感觉。

经过一些陡峭的山坡，火车到达了Avramovo站，它是巴尔干半岛的最高站，海拔1267米。这段线路不仅高而陡，而且是整条线路上最长的隧道。难怪它也被称为巴尔干半岛的阿尔卑斯铁路。

一过了最高点，火车就开始向最后一站缓慢下降。车厢之间有开放的站台，人们可以站在那里欣赏美景，拍摄火车的弯道。

狭窄的铁路在罗多彼山脉美丽的森林和皮林山雄伟的山峰的背景下运行，使四节车厢的火车看起来像来自一个神秘的、遥远的地方的童话。

在迷人的景色下又过了几个小时，火车到达了我们的最终目的地，班斯科镇。因其滑雪场而闻名于世的冬季胜地，班斯科被称为巴尔干半岛的冬季之都，绝对是一个旅游景点。我们在附近散步了几个小时，等待同一辆火车返回并带我们回Velingrad市。

当我们再次上火车时，已经是黄昏了，这次累了，准备好好睡一觉。

毫无疑问，窄轨酒店提供了丰富的文化体验，值得成为世界级的地标。窗外和船上的景色使我们放松了思想和精神，感到轻松和放松，并提醒我们真正有价值的东西。整个经历是无价的，随着火车驶过古老的森林的轰鸣声刻在我的记忆中。

@TsekoV wow… what a sight. Another reason why I am dying to come over to visit all of you there. All the pictures of the train and the landscape reminds me so much of the Sound Of Music (although of course that’s in Salzburg Austria), Can’t wait for this pandemic to get over to start moving around again, really. I’m just feeling so lethargic being hogged up in a single location.

[TsekoV]

Thanks for the kind words, @StephenAbraham .

I really wish one day soon all of us could travel freely and safely around the world. Until then, we can explore our own area even better in a safe way and look for things we might have never seen yet just as I got on this train journey in the beginning of the year.

I love the post @TsekoV ! I always wanted to travel on this train! The stories that I have heard from my friends, and now reading your post about it. I’m jealous! What was your favorite part of the trip?

[OliverKIWI]

My son loves trains! This looks soooooooo much fun!!! @TsekoV

[Kojelcape]

saya sangat senang dengan perjalanan hari ini

[Velvel]

五个小时坐火车看了那么多漂亮的风景一定不能觉得很久吧？ @TsekoV

你分享的风景多美啊！有一点的雪，蓝蓝的天，白白的云，绿绿高高的树。

我没乘过窄轨铁路。看你的经验，好像很有意思！

还记得去年我从北京到上海坐了高铁大概是四个半小时，但风景不比你那么·美。呵呵

[TsekoV]

I am really glad you liked the story, @InaS .

Honestly speaking I loved everything about this trip on a narrow-gauge train. My most favorite part were the fascinating views that open during the journey. Words are not enough to describe what one can see there.

[TsekoV]

He-he-he, I am happy to hear your son shares the same passion towards trains, @OliverKIWI .

What about you? Have you ever been on a narrow-gauge journey before?

[TsekoV]

Hey @Kojelcape ,

Where did you go? Did you also take a train on your journey? Have you ever been on a train going through the mountains?

Just as a reminder, don’t forget when responding to others make sure to tag them (by writing @ before their names) in a post so they can receive notifications that you are communicating with them.

@TsekoV saya belum pernah naik kereta api… yang saya menaiki mobil pribadi dalam mengambil gambar jalan dan langit itu.

[TsekoV]

风景每的话，坐五个小时的车并不久， @Velvel 哈哈。我当时坐窄轨铁路时冬天快要结束了，前天晚上下雪了。

我之前也坐过北京到上海的火车，怎么没碰到你啦？ 我记得我坐的是普遍火车，坐了整个晚上。

世界那么美，我喜欢你一天会抓住这个机会体验窄轨铁路。你一定不会遗憾的。

[Kojelcape]

@TsekoV mungkin suatu saat saya akan menaiki kereta itu… terima kasih sudah berbagi pengalaman anda kepada saya.

[OliverKIWI]

Yes, my son is a big train fan - at one stage, he said wants to be a train driver. He also loves all those LEGO train sets. He wanted to buy a discontinued set which is about US$800 - I say no LOL! I haven’t had any narrow-gauge train journey at all - only the normal train. However, we do have a miniature train here which is mainly for kids. @TsekoV a circle train-track is in a park - a trip is about 5 mins haha!

[InaS]

Can’t wait to travel with it @TsekoV ! Thank you a lot for your reply!

[Velvel]

啊，你当然没碰到我因为我坐的高铁是下午到晚上的时间 @TsekoV

我七点半晚上到了上海。

坐整夜的高铁怎么样？睡觉睡得着吗？

[TsekoV]

当时我坐的不是高铁而是普通K列车， @Velvel 。我记得中国有好几种列车，比如高铁，动车，K字列车，等等。也许也有其他类中。

[TsekoV]

@OliverKIWI , I remember when I was a kid I also had a small model of a train with railways. It was my favorite toy, he-he-he.

I guess US$800 is way too expensive for a toy.

[PaulPavlinovich]

I need to come and ride this train @TsekoV - what a great railway.

Paul

[TsekoV]

I know you are passionate about trains too, @PaulPavlinovich .

I believe you would definitely like this ride.
