Globetrotters are used to a lot of things. But this was a surprise for an Australian couple: what they thought was a toll booth for the pass turned out to be an access road for loading the train.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- An Australian couple is traveling through Switzerland by car.
- The globetrotters document their first trip in a car transport on TikTok and receive thousands of likes and comments.
- Their followers wondered: is this only possible in Switzerland?
The Australian travelers really hadn't expected this. Instead of driving over a mountain pass from the Swiss midlands to Valais, the globetrotters ended up on a car train in Kandersteg and were astonished: they had never experienced anything like this before.
"Do you turn off the engine here?"
"What's going on here?" asks the passenger, visibly confused, before adding: "I thought we were driving through a toll station". But it's too late: the train starts moving and disappears into the tunnel.
"It's like being on a rollercoaster," comments the passenger. After 15 minutes, the adventure is over, what remains is the couple's witty video clip on TikTok. And it is heavily commented on:
What's so special about it now? "After all, the Eurotunnel from France to England does that too," is one of the comments. And the car train from Niebüll to Westerland on the German vacation island of Sylt also comes to mind.
But then again: This type of train journey by car doesn't seem to exist in Australia.
