00:00 This is a trip for everyone, both for enthusiasts and families with children, elderly people.
00:08 This range of people willing to make such trips as a trip to Góry Sowie is very diverse.
00:14 I am glad that there are many young people who want to know how it used to be, because it is a historical component.
00:22 We have wagons from the 1920s, the so-called Donnersbuche, shaking cans, as they were called in Żargon.
00:28 These are wagons with Lower Silesian heritage, built in the 1920s in Wrocław, in a plant that later became the famous Pafawag, a state factory of wagons.
00:38 We also have historical wagons from the 1970s, such as Kuszetka or Salonka.
00:43 We try to take care of the details, their original character, so this is an opportunity to touch on the living history of railway work
00:50 and travel along the most picturesque railway lines of Lower Silesia.
00:55 Thanks to the fact that in the last two years, the connection to Sobótka from Wrocław was opened,
01:02 and this year the old line of Bystrica railway, from Świdnica to Jedlina Zdrój,
01:08 is one of the most picturesque, through the valley of the Bystrica River, where there are beautiful peaks of Górsów, interesting architecture,
01:18 and above all, it is a work of engineering, and this whole line with bridges, each almost different, the longest, for example,
01:25 the longest crossing is over 143 meters, there is the so-called Gerber Bridge, with an interesting construction,
01:31 but these are bridges that were probably also thought of as tourism when this railway was built at the beginning of the 20th century,
01:38 because their trusses are turned down so as not to cover the views of travelers from the windows of the wagons.
01:44 There will also be a guide who will tell stories on the trusses, there will be our team of conductors,
01:50 it is so pleasant and useful, it is also promoting railway tourism and tourism in the region and learning the history of this region,
01:58 which, as it turns out, is also very strongly based on the history of railway work, hence we are here.
