An alle Eisenbahnamateure, herzlich willkommen! Good afternoon and welcome to this new suggestion of mine! Today I'm radically expanding my range, wanting to propose you a German route! Sehr gut, fahren wir fort! Let's go! This would be the well-known Bodenseegürtelbahn (Lake Constance "northern" Belt Railway), from Lindau to Radolfzell via Friedrichshafen, plus Singen! Located in the southeast of Germany, between Bayern and Baden-Württemberg. Would be set in 2022. Our journey begins in Lindau, riding the lake's northern shore; breaking through vineyards/orchards and peat bogs, all the way to Friedrichshafen. Along its second half, it alternates inland and lakeside stretches, riding through the same orchards/vineyards, interspersed with wooded hillsides/farmlands. Dropping in Radolfzell, it finally come to an end in Singen! Famous for its breathtaking views and stunning rural/natural landscapes, it also crosses some major industrial realities (Zeppelin, ZF and MTU, to name a few). Key features would be electric and diesel combined stretches (kind of weird), as well as a perfectly balanced service scheme! Glaubst du, dass du bereit? Think you're ready?
