“On the way, passengers were accompanied by about 10 characters from the Harry Potter Universe,” the Ministry of Transport and Roads of Bashkiria reports on its website.
On November 14, 124 passengers went on the first such trip which took two hours. The next sightseeing tours are scheduled for November 21 and 28.
The passengers became owners of wands, received letters from Hogwarts, tasted the "miracle lunch" and took pictures with their favorite characters from the Harry Potter books.
From the train window on the way you can see one of the main natural attractions of Bashkiria - Shikhany mountains.
