Koprivshtitsa Train Station

The name of this gorgeous little town, nestled high up in the mountains, is the hardest word in the Bulgarian language for an English-speaking foreigner like myself to pronounce. I pride myself on sounding almost like native speakers ;)

So I instructed our highly experienced driver (as during this particular trip, a few days before, she had driven through snow flurries for the first time -- very bravely, I might add ) to slam on the brakes, but she did the smart thing, instead, and pulled over at the nearest turnout ;) -- just after this particular tunnel:

Here's a close-up of the ridge above:

We walked quite quickly through the tunnel to go snap pics of the railroad beauty below:

The following are the pics that followed ;) Tell me which ones you like best!
