It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Minatur Wunderland in Hamburg!
The Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is one very interesting place. It is nominally a very very large train set with some very detailed models, but in reality it's much more.
Of particular interest to airplane people would be the Knuffingen Airport display, which I understand it loosely based on Hamburg airport. Of course the aircraft move, but also many of the vehicles, aircraft tugs, terminal gates and more! very, very flash!
What follows are a few of the pictures and video I took while visiting. Keep in mind that this is only a small part of the whole model setup, which will keep you occupied for several hours [possibly the best 13 euro you'll spend in Hamburg! :-)].
See the Air Chathams aircraft???

Arrivals and departures board.... note the top one
Yes, they both "flew" in and taxied to their stands!
This is wonderful! I love the plane taking off in the background too. Need more!!
ReplyDeleteYou might have to go and visit! It's a fantastic place to visit and these picture just don't do it justice.
