Die Schönsten Bahnstrecken Deutschlands (Germany's Most Beautiful Railways) was a regular night-time feature on Germany's ARD television channel which ran from 3 September 1995 to 28 October 2013.[1]

The programme was a real-time, mostly uninterrupted, recording of railway journeys as viewed from the driver's cab. There was no commentary or music, but the sounds of the recording were retained for broadcast. Small interruptions did occur if the train was traversing a tunnel or sat at a station, usually cutting away to view some of the cab's controls. The camera did not pan to take in scenery, being fixed in the forward position for the duration of the journey.

External shots of the train and the station building, and occasionally the wider town, were included at the route termini. A simple map of the route was displayed on screen at the beginning of the programme, and whilst the train was stationary in a station, the name of that station was also displayed. No supplementary information was provided.

The programme was used to fill the time between other programmes and as such was often cut short without explanation, so the following programme could start as scheduled.

Broadly considered a successful programme,[2] there were two spin-offs: Die Schönsten Bahnstrecken Europas (Europe's Most Beautiful Railways) and Die Schönsten Bahnstrecken der Welt (The World's Most Beautiful Railways). These followed the same format and went to picturesque routes such as Glasgow to Mallaig, which was recorded on 8 September 1997.[3]

Many of the journeys were released on VHS and DVD.[4]
