Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg is one of the most successful permanent exhibitions in Northern Germany. It’s billed as the world’s largest model train set — a miniature world that snakes along seven and a half miles (12 kilometers) of track, amid fields, cities, even the snowcapped Swiss Alps.
And it’s quickly becoming one of Germany’s biggest tourist attractions.
Twin brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, 41, have turned their boyhood passion for model railroads into a lucrative private museum called Miniatur Wunderland that has kept adding track since its 2001 opening and drew 1 million visitors last year.
