Tanvald - Harrachov rack railway
The only rack railway in the Czech Republic is a unique cultural and technical monument. Trains on this line used to overcome several hundred metres of elevation and therefore used a rack and pinion on the steepest section from Tanvald to Kořenov. Few railways can boast as many "bests" as the Tanvald - Harrachov railway line in the Jizera Mountains and Giant Mountains, which can be found in the timetable under the number 035. It is interesting not only for its unique construction design, but also for its rich history. It has become a regular destination for admirers of railways and technical monuments from all over Europe and in 1992 the section Tanvald - Kořenov was declared a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
