Europe's 3rd Cog-Wheel Railway, the tramline 60. First Cog-Wheel Railway of continental europe was built in Switzerland in 1871, after its great success architectures and engineers started to brain storm to increase income of this new invention, they decided to built next Cog Wheely to Austria's capital, Vienna. Guess where was the next location? Yes, it was Budapest! In 1873 the construction started and was completed on June 21, 1874, Hungary’s first special railway was opened for the public. It was 2883 metres long with steam locomotives. First modernization took place in 1929 but after the WW2, railway was almost had to built entirely because of the destruction. Second biggest renovation took place in 1973.

Fantastic experience using this wonderful cogwheel train to visit Budapest mountain. You will feel like step back in time with the old travelling style. The train is beautiful, clean and comfortable. In the winter you will be amazed with the scene covered in white snow. It looks like getting lost in a fairy land. Magical view and so peaceful. At the end of cogwheel train line, you can continue discover the mountain with children train which operates by children.

The cogwheel train is quite a unique experience if you want to visit the hillside area. You can use your public transport tickets, no extra money needed. It has a nostalgic feeling, just like you go about 30 years back in time. Tips: - In winter time, go if there is snow otherwise the route has quite a lot of rubbish around, people don't care their home it seems. There are some abandoned houses too, not the best looking. - Beautiful in summer time, fresh air and good to be away from the buzzing city - Great for a day out

This is definitely one of the highlights of Budapest. If you plan to visit Normafa, I advise you taking this cog-wheel railway instead of the regular buses. The panorama is spectacular, especially in the winter. Don't miss it!

It was a fun ride and was interesting to see the houses up in the hills. It's also a good way to get to the children's railway.
