Preda to Bergün, Switzerland Alps hike 2005. Unesco World Heritage area.
The Rhaetische Bahn Albula Line. An engineering marvel of the late 1800s. This is the entrance to the Albula tunnel 5865 meters long. In summer you can rent a push scooter here to use to go to Bergün.
Spiral tunnels were cut under the mountains so the trains could gain 1600 ft of altitude in 12.6kms between Preda and Bergün. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/john.whitby/preda_walk.htm
