The Worlds Biggest Miniature Railroad

Shrink down and take a tour of the world’s biggest miniature railroad “Miniatur Wunderland”; located in Hamburg, Germany.

This incredible tourist attraction holds an incredible 15,400 meters of track/
To put that into perspective, the length of the train set is enough to get you to the top of Mount Everest – and 6,000 m back down the other side!

The trains make up part of an enormous miniature world that spans eight countries including miniature versions of Germany, the US, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, parts of Finland, Switzerland, and Italy with more countries to come.

This ironically massive miniature land holds over  2,633 figurines, 4,340 buildings, 130,000 trees, and takes visitors through many different city and nature landscapes across the world.

It also has roads, with 11,000 moving cars, its own airport, with 60 planes that take off and land, and 1300 miniature trains!

Miniatur Wunderland took over five years to create and fine-tune the programming for the trains and airplanes and takes has its own dedicated control centre, with 50 computers that track and control the planning. Source Guinness Book of World Records
