Mittenwald Railway, Mountain railway line between Innsbruck, Austria and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

The Mittenwald Railway spans 63.7 kilometers through the Karwendel mountains, featuring numerous tunnels and bridges across challenging Alpine terrain.

Engineers Josef Riehl and Wilhelm Carl von Doderer constructed this railway between 1910 and 1912 as one of Austria's first electric standard-gauge lines.

The railway connects German and Austrian mountain communities through the Scharnitzer Klause passage, maintaining regional transportation traditions across borders.

Trains operate hourly from Munich via Garmisch-Partenkirchen, with additional services extending to Seefeld in Tirol and Innsbruck throughout the day.

The Martinswand Tunnel extends 1,810 meters through solid rock, representing a significant engineering achievement in early 20th-century railway construction.
