Journeys Through Alpine Waters

Rhine Gorge, Switzerland

This view overlooks one of the most famous sections of the young Rhine. Travelling through the region, I was surprised by how much freight shared the railway with passenger trains. From logs to containers and trucks, rail transport plays a key role in connecting communities and supporting sustainable mobility throughout this Alpine valley.

Lake Iseo, Italy

While exploring Lake Iseo by public transport, I was surprised by how many quarries could be spotted around the lake. They reveal a landscape shaped not only by nature but also by intensive human activity, reminding me how fragile the balance between economic development and Alpine ecosystems can be.

Tegernsee, Germany

Travelling to Tegernsee by train encouraged me to slow down and experience the journey rather than focus only on the destination. By continuing on to nearby Schliersee using local public transport, I was able to discover more of the region and experience the connections between different Alpine communities and landscapes.
