Travel with us along the second of our two part journey through scenic central Switzerland along the only metre gauge line of the Swiss Federal Railways, which runs from Interlaken to Luzern.

We rejoin our ride at Meiringen, famous for its Sherlock Holmes connection, and the location of the Brünig line depot. The tracks now leave the plain and begin the steep climb up to Hasliberg, with rack assistance being utilised.

Once over the pass we descend into the lakeland country of central Switzerland. We skirt Lakes Lungern and Sarnen, pausing to visit the home of Switzerland's own Saint, Bruder Klaus. We also look at the magnificent baroque church at Sarnen and see archive film of the open air parliament held here. This is the heart of the original Swiss Confederation founded over 700 years ago.

The end of our journey is at Luzern, a popular holiday destination, whose lovely streets and painted bridges are the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. We look at the famous carving of the "dying lion", before paying a visit to the railway section of the Swiss Transport Museum, located on the shores of the Vierwaldstättersee.

This is a companion programme to our SBB Brünig Line Part 1, which takes us on the journey along Lake Brienz from interlaken to Meiringen.
