The Schynige Platte railway, which opened in
1893, is one of Switzerland’s pioneering lines.
The cog train climbs at a sedate 12 kph up to
Schynige Platte, passing many panoramic
viewpoints overlooking Lake Thun and Lake
Brienz, where the great Swiss artist Ferdinand
Hodler painted some of his famous land -
scapes, more than 100 years ago.
