It is not only a model railway – it is a much more expansive world in 1:87 scale on 1,400 sqm of exhibition space with a number of stories and scenes from Europe. Many countries, landscapes and even an airport with take-off and landing aircraft inspire more than 1.2 million visitors every year. The Miniatur Wunderland is one of the 10 most popular leisure attractions in Europe and is extended constantly. The modeler can look forward to a new challenge for 2014: the construction of Italy with its beautiful landscapes and buildings.
