The mountain in the background belongs to the Karawanks range, the border between Austria and Slovenia (former Yugoslavia). The train travels between Rosenbach, the mouth of the Karawanks Tunnel (German: Karawankentunnel) tunnel linking Austria with Slovenia and Maria Elend, in the Rosen Valley. The single-track line was built as an important railroad link, but it is now almost unused, with major electrified itineraries going around it.
