Welcome to the Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway in the world and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Germany.
However, Miniatur Wunderland located in Hamburg is much more than just a model railway. Spanning over one thousand one hundred (1,100) square meters and building over five hundred thousand (500,000) working hours of virtual work(?) has involved, with incredible attention to detail. Round about five million (5,000,000) visitors already entered this adventure for the whole family.
In only a few moments you go from Scandinavia over Germany, Austria, and Switzerland right to the distant America. In America you can experience the night life of Las Vegas, and the natural beauty of the Great Canyon and the Rocky Mountains. Experience the fantasy regions of Denmark, Norway, or the snow-covered Sweden, along the Northeast Sea into the metropolitan city of Hamburg with many of its impressive buildings and landmarks recreated in loving detail!
In the other scenes of Switzerland and Myer forests are diverse vegetations in the steep mountainsides dotted with rusty carts and railroads. The famous fantasy city of Knughenia is a special attraction with busy fire departments that battle periodic fire blazes. Additionally, the Knughenian police department works hard on traffic control, polling overspeeding cars.
Generally speaking there are over one hundred and seventy (170) computer-controlled cars in Scandinavia, America, and Knughenian areas of the Miniatur Wunderland. There are eight hundred (800) trains with approximately ten thousand (10,000) railroad cars, which travel several hundred kilometers each day. The longest train has a length of forty and half meters (40.5m). Altogether over ten kilometers (10km) of track have been laid. On the Northeast Sea with thirty thousand (30,000) litres water capacity, you will experience ships large and small, all going about their business under computer control.
The Miniatur Wunderland is not only a world of trains, ships, and landscapes, but also of people. Currently there are over two hundred thousand (200,000) small inhabitants residing in the Wunderland, representing all possible real life situations. Thick people, thin people, animals on trips, or very strong famous children, working population, entertaining fire eater, various life shows, or no longer saved life ones. See wild animals and other very shy herds, and above all you examine the life like it is real.
Nearly all inhabitants of the Miniatur Wunderland have a roof over their head.

Distributed all along the railing of the exhibit can be found over one hundred and fifty (150) pushbutton actions, these vigil visitors can enter and pull the life and motion occuring at the Wunderland.
From the central control stand the complete technique is supervised and controlled by human eyes with the help of more than forty (40) computers. More than two hundred (200) cameras support the co-workers doing this job!
The creative team of one hundred and sixty (160) associates is never short of ideas, since the Swiss section with towering mountains of six meters (6m) height, enormous famous corners and many more attractions have been finished shortly.
Now a new section will be built before the eyes of the visitors - this will be a large airport. After one and half years building time the airport shall be opened in 2009. The centralized light control of the layout provides the full realistic day and night's animation. One day in the Wunderland takes 15 minutes, at nightfall over three hundred thousand (300,000) small LED's and the exhibit create a miraculous atmosphere.
