This small exhibition showed the history of the direct train connection that brought Russian guests to the spa town of Meran at the turn of the last century.

Visitors to the Touriseum will get a glimpse of the historic railway connection between St. Petersburg and Meran in the stairwell of Trauttmansdorff Castle, where a small touring exhibition in four languages shows how Meran received the Russian travellers who, at the end of the 19th century, made up the third largest group of guests in the spa town.
