steam train on the viaduct at Ober-Schmiedeberg in Schlesien, Germany


Since 1945, this place has been Kowary Górne in Poland. This was on a 40 km semi-mountainous line completed in stages between 1882 and 1905 from Hirschberg (Jelenia Góra) via Schmiedeberg (Kowary) to Landeshut (Kamienna Góra) in Lower Silesia in an area known as the Giant Mountains (Riesengebirge). The line, operated by the PKP since 1945, lasted until 2007.
