The fjord also has several impressive waterfalls. The two most notable waterfalls in the Geirangerfjord are ‘de Syv Søstre’ (the seven sisters) and ‘Friaren’ (the suitor, also called the wooer). The two waterfalls face one another across the fjord, and the suitor is said to be trying to woo the sisters opposite.

Brudesløret (the bridal veil) is another waterfall on the fjord, thus named because it falls delicately over one rocky edge, and when seen backlit by the sun looks like a thin veil over the rocks.

Steam Trains, Wolsztyn, Poland
  Map

Dedicated to preserving steam railways in Poland.  A view from Wolsztyńska Parowozownia in Wolsztyn, Poland

The Wolsztyn Experience Society runs footplate experience courses in Poland and has been doing so for the last 18 years. Membership to the society entitles you to participate in these footplate courses which are held on the last scheduled steam passenger service in the world. The society has accommodation for its members in Wolsztyn. Members are also allowed to drive and fire our narrow gauge locomotive at Gniezno and participate in our unique shunting courses at Jaworzyna Slaska. 

Membership is included in your holiday/course booking fees, with discounts normally available to original and regular participants.

Whilst you will receive a safety briefing on arrival in Poland the society and PKP are not responsible for any injuries received whilst on the footplate or around railway property. The railways are unfenced and you cross the tracks at your own risk. After all, the risks are far less than on a skiing holiday. One should bear in mind that it is advisable to book your stay in Poland allowing a little spare time so that in the advent of loco failure or train cancellation you will receive the appropriate footplate time that you have booked. In the event of not achieving all your turns we will refund for the missed ones or supply a voucher to reduce the cost of a future visit. The society is not liable, in the case of a major interruption of steam services, for air fares or travel expenses in the UK. We recommend not downloading your airline check in form until 24 hrs, before travel, so in the case of a major steam problem you can re book for another time in which case we will pay the flight rebooking fee. The society has Public

Indemnity Cover, so that we are covered for any claim made against us. 

The Society History

The Wolsztyn Experience is a mutual trust society and was set up and is run by British steam train enthusiasts to offer financial support for the continued use of scheduled steam services in Poland. The original membership was 31 life members. The founder Howard Jones was awarded the MBE for his negotiations with the  Polish authorities which initially led to retaining this last steam commuter service and thus giving the opportunity for club members to sample life on the footplate.  

The Society has gone from strength to strength over the last 18 years. We enjoy a unique working relationship with all rail operators, public authorities and museums. Our agreement with PKP gives the society open access to all Polish steam services and specials, subject to the appropriate payment. When we started, these payments equated to the difference between the cost of steam haulage and diesel. Since then, the introduction of more economic railcars for the remaining services and rising costs in Poland mean the monies the society pays to PKP equate to approx 10% of the depot costs. 

All this has only been possible by the amazing enthusiasm for steam operation from PKP (Cargo), the Polish Authorities & Wielkapolska Railways.  In addition to footplate permit fees to PKP The Wolsztyn Experience also funds other projects when funds are available.

Warsaw West Train Station, Warsaw, Poland
  Map

A view from the Office of Rail Transport, overlooking Warsaw West Train Station.   Please note: during bad weather the image may be distorted by rain on the camera lens. 

Warsaw easily intertwines the modern with the historic. For a relaxing afternoon, head to the Baroque-style Lazienki Park (Royal Baths). Created by the king in the 17th century, idle a while under the old oaks surrounded by squirrels and peacocks, little ponds and palaces. In the summer, don’t miss outdoor Chopin piano concerts that take place every Sunday at noon and at 4pm, by the composer’s monument. Grab a bite at Qchnia Artystyczna, the well-regarded restaurant within Ujazdowski Castle.

There’s even an Old Town and a New Town – built in both the 17th and 18th centuries. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets or head to the Market Square where you’ll find traditional Polish restaurants. On Krakowskie Przedmiescie and Nowy Swiat – the city’s main promenades, find newer pubs and cafes that house youthful ebullience.

Warsaw is well connected by train to other cities. Kraków, the artistic heart of Poland, is only three hours away by InterCity train. Historic Gdansk on the Baltic coast is a bit lengthier – a six hour ride – but oh ! – the beauty you will see. Consider getting off the train in Malbork, just 20 minutes before Gdansk and visit its immense medieval castle. If you have a European East Pass, you could also visit Budapest, Vienna and Prague. With a Eurail Germany-Poland Pass, consider taking Berlin-Warsaw Express, which takes a bit over five hours.

Welcome to 長崎港  - The Nagasaki Port is a natural harbor that is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It opened in 1571, and developed through trading with foreign countries since the olden times.

Nagasaki Airport, Japan
  Map

The mainland portion of the airport opened as a military aerodrome in 1923, and commenced civilian joint use as Omura Airport (大村空港) in 1955.

The current island runway and terminal opened on May 1, 1975. Although Nagasaki is superficially similar to Japan's other island airports, Kansai International Airport, Kobe Airport, Kitakyushu Airport, and Chūbu Centrair International Airport, Nagasaki's island existed (in a radically different shape) before the airport was constructed. Constructing the airport required flattening the island's hills and forming landfill around its shore, expanding it from 0.9 to 1.54 km2 (0.35 to 0.59 sq mi).

Roermond City Marina is located in the small town of Herten, only a few kilometers from the city center of Roermond. A trip to this cozy and historic city, with extensive shopping options such as the Designer Outlet and the Retail Park, is thus made. But other shops, such as in the village center of Herten, are a stone's throw from the marina and can easily be reached on foot or by bike. In short: Roermond City Marina is fully equipped and is therefore the ideal destination to enjoy on or on the water.

Sendai Station, Sendai, Japan
  Map

仙台マークワン屋上

With roughly one million inhabitants, Sendai (仙台) is by far the largest city in the Tohoku Region and one of the country's 15 largest cities.  The modern city of Sendai was founded around 1600 by Date Masamune, one of feudal Japan's most powerful lords.  Many of Sendai's tourist attractions are related to Masamune and his family.

Sendai was the closest major city to the epicenter of the earthquake of March 11, 2011.  The tsunami devastated the city's coastal outskirts but did not cause major damage in the city center.  Virtually all tourist spots reopened within a few months of the earthquake.

Less than an hour northeast of the city center lies the town of Matsushima, whose bay is dotted by pine clad islets and is known for one of Japan's three most scenic views.

The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway's most visited tourist sites and has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, along with the Nærøyfjord, since 2005.

Along the sides of this magnificent fjord, there a number of abandoned farms. The farms that are most commonly visited are Skageflå, Knivsflå and Blomberg. Skageflå can also be reached on foot from Geiranger, while the others can only be seen from the fjord.

The fjord also has several impressive waterfalls. The two most notable waterfalls in the Geirangerfjord are ‘de Syv Søstre’ (the seven sisters) and ‘Friaren’ (the suitor, also called the wooer). The two waterfalls face one another across the fjord, and the suitor is said to be trying to woo the sisters opposite.

Brudesløret (the bridal veil) is another waterfall on the fjord, thus named because it falls delicately over one rocky edge, and when seen backlit by the sun looks like a thin veil over the rocks.
