Description
The so called “Vaser Valley Railway” (the Romanian vaser means “water”), the forestry railway of Viseu de Sus, located in the high north of Romania next to the border to the Ukraine, is still an outstanding technical culture heritage object: On a network of approx. 60 kms track length you will still find steam locos – besides some motor locos – with wooden firing. For this reason the CFF Viseu de Sus (CFF is the Romanian short cut for Caile Ferate Forestiere „Forestry Railway“) shall be the last real forestry railway on earth.

The track was built with 760 mm gauge, which was the standard narrow gauge within the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and will lead you with numerous curves via bridges and tunnels next to Vaser River into a wild romantic valley of the Carpathian Mountains. The railway opens a huge forest area without any roads and villages, but therefor with bears and wolfes.
