Čierny Hron Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Čierny Hron Railway (in Slovak: Čiernohronská železnica) is a narrow gauge railway in central Slovakia, built as an industrial railway for logging operations.
The railway started wood transport in 1909. In the middle of the 20th century this forest railway network (over 130 km) was the most extensive one in Czechoslovakia. The railway was closed in 1982, but it has been granted national heritage status since. During the following few years it was repaired by enthusiasts and it is now 17 km long, leading from Hronec to Čierny Balog and working again as a heritage railway for tourists.
