After walking through the Aara gorge you are faced with a choice, either walk back or cross the river on a footbridge and experience this unusual 'station'. Pressing a button on the panel to the left of the door instructs the driver of the single carriage train to stop. The driver gets out, opens this door in the tunnel and you hop on the train, simple but effective!
