Torfbahn Himmelmoor, Heritage railway in Quickborn, Germany
The Torfbahn Himmelmoor operates on a 5.81-kilometer narrow-gauge track system through the expansive peat moorland near Hamburg in northern Germany.
Constructed around 1900, this industrial railway transported peat from extraction sites to processing facilities until commercial operations ceased in 2018.
The railway preservation society maintains the complete fleet of original locomotives and wagons, representing Germany's first fully preserved peat railway system.
Visitors can experience guided tours on restored diesel locomotives along a five-kilometer section of track through the natural moorland landscape.
The railway continues to support ecological restoration projects in the moor while preserving industrial heritage through regular maintenance and operations.
