As a prelude to the event "With roll esgons to the mountains" from 3 to 5 April 2020 on the Zittau narrow-gauge railway, we offer four days of photo rides with railcars of different series on scenic routes in Bohemia. M 262, M 131, M 240 "Singrovka" and the M 286 will be used.
As a tour hotel we have again chosen the brewery in Varnsdorf, both the rooms and the possibility to live in a sleeping car, as well as the catering have convinced us again and again.
We have consciously planned the appointment during the week, since on the routes we travel there is considerably less scheduled traffic during the week than at the weekend, so we have much more time between the scheduled trains to take pictures.

Our plan looks like this at the moment (it will be updated about 3 months before the start of the journey, regarding possible construction sites and operational readiness of the trains; therefore no guarantee):
Monday, March 30, 2020: Railcar M 262 076 on routes around Roudnice / Lovosice.
Tuesday, March 31, 2020: Ceska Lipa - Jedlova - Ceska Kamenice with M 286 railcar.
Wednesday, April 1, 2020: Photo ride with M 131.1280 or M 131.109 railcars (vehicles alternate according to technical condition) on the Zubrnice museum railway.
Thursday, April 2, 2020: Photo ride with the motor coach "Singrovka" M 240.056 Liberec - Ceska Lipa.
On Friday morning the transfer to Zittau is planned (driving time by car approx. 30 minutes), where we will start our tour "with roll wagons to the mountains" at noon.
With this event (with a maximum of 22 participants) we only address photographers (this time exceptionally no videographers) who want to experience and photograph the classic diesel vehicles of the Czech state railway on a professionally organized photo trip.
Why no videographers at this event: In contrast to our other tours, we often leave the railcar in only one position and take our photo. There will be very few "sham journeys" or "passages" that could produce moving pictures for the film. It would be a disappointment for videographers if we didn't report honestly and openly!
We offer selected photo places and scenes, so that you come guaranteed to "your" picture of the different diesel vehicles. We are known for organizing our photo stops in such a way that every participant can take his picture in a good position without pushing, if necessary, we also carry out a photo stop several times.
All participants ride in the train, on the transfer routes we "decorate" our train with orange warning vests. Because "non-payers" are undesirable on our photo rides. Only honest payers make such projects and events possible with their participation fee.
