The “eight” section includes approximately 20 tunnels and ten bridges that form a third of the total length of the railway, which makes it unique. The train is climbing up to 1544m altitude, and the total lenght of the railway is 15 km. This railway was restaurated for the purpose of making the movie “Life is a miracle” (2004) directed by famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica.
