    I was thinking about my out door phone and all the places where I already had it with me.
    One of the places is the Harz (aka: Central German Uplands; a near-nature - a bit mysthic - low mountain range in Germany).

    It is not only full of exciting (and spooky) legends; ... you can also cross it - or ride up to the highest mountain of the Harz, the Brocken, - with steam trains. These are operated by the HSB (Harzer Schmalspurbahn). The HSB is full of polite and cool people; and it is one of the biggest companies in Germany, that operates steam trains on that professional level. It also has a direct connection to the DB station platform in Werningerode [locality]. Check aerial image below.

    One of these routes of the HSB might fit into TSW: Length, locations and the fun factor would fit very good.

    Here a few further informations:

    Maybe I should have asked: What do you think about this idea? Do you like it or not? Why not?/Why? ;)
