Beschreibung
Railways. This word conceals so much history and interesting facts, even though it is barely two centuries old. Here, from the very beginning, the introduction of the railway meant a revolution in society and in people's thinking. Railways transformed entire regions into industrial areas, helped turn small villages into large cities, and built large enterprises of European significance from small factories. Our country has the densest railway network in Europe, and we can reach almost everywhere by train, at least to most significant cities and towns. Petr Vokáč, in this book combining a travel guide and non-fiction literature, focuses on trips to Czech castles, fortresses, and ruins accessible by railway. In addition, he has prepared a little treat for readers in the form of descriptions of models of Czech castles that railway employees created in their gardens in front of the station in both ancient and recent times, and there are also passages describing extinct railway professions or life in the station master's house.
