What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the beautifully executed and detailed model railway, calling it a nostalgic and impressive experience for all ages. The friendly staff and potential backstage access are highlights, though the entrance fee can be steep for families and opening hours require careful checking.
"Well explained, beautifully executed model. Difficult to reach, because quite off the beaten path. Plenty of free parking spots, half of which are covered / in shadows."

"A great place for kids and adults, my little one was all excited. Big thank you to the people there who were really helpful and let my son go backstage. An unforgettable experience for him.
Only bad point: entrance fee can be steep for a whole family."
Bern Muller
"Watching the video which proceeds the visit of the maquette, catapulted me straight to my childhood. All the memories of spending hours and hours building our own model railway together with my grandfather. Only just that already made the visit worthwhile.
Apart from that I can only say: impressive! I can't imagine how much effort went into building the Kaeserbergbahn from scratch (looking at their computerised system, I guess they've started building the railway way before digital controls became mainstream).
Chemins de fer du Kaeserberg is definitely worth a visit for anyone who likes model trains as well as for families. It would be nice to see children gain more interest again in model trains. ❤"
