Model railway layout at Frankfurt Central Station
Several German railway stations offer model railway layouts. After putting in a 1-Euro-coin, children (and their parents) can control the miniature trains. The dioramas are pretty large and full of details. I took this photo at the central station of Frankfurt am Main.
Waiting room at railway station Selzthal
In the small Styrian municipality Selzthal the structures of the railway station dating back to 1872 are still existing. So one can spend the time of waiting in this lovely decorated room.
Lamp at Salzburg Central Station
The rebuilt central station of Salzburg still uses some elements of the old railway station. For example, 100+-year-old tile paintings and lamps like the one shown above provide a vintage feeling in the entrance hall.

Statue at the railway station of Bolzano
At the railway station of Bolzano, I came across this statue. It reminds me of movies like ‘Metropolis’ by Fritz Lang.
Innsbruck Central Station in Tyrol
The 8th day of my InterRail trip ended in Innsbruck. The idea to travel from the Baltic Sea to the Alps was implemented. By the way the two artworks at the railway station were created by Max Weiler.
Public art by Max Weiler at Innsbruck railway station
At Innsbruck central station (Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof), I had a look at this public art by Max Weiler. The depicted man at the right edge of the painting represents an important person in the history of Innsbruck. It is Emperor Maximilian I.
Main railway station in Lübeck
My first stop on my 8th day of my InterRail journey: Lübeck. I just love these halls of old railway stations. You?
Christmas decoration in Hamburg
After arriving at Hamburg Central Station, I came across this Christmas decoration. I loved the way how the lights evoked an X-mas feeling. There is no need for stars all the time.
Sculpture L’Ange Protecteur in Zurich
On my walk through Zurich Central Station (Zürich Hauptbahnhof), I came across this public art created by Niki de Saint Phalle. The sculpture is titled L’Ange Protecteur. I’ve already seen a lot of public art by this artist in Hanover. This time it was my first encounter with her work at a railway station.
