Narrow Gauge Railway in Krosnice

The Krosnice Narrow Gauge Railway is a park railway and one of the biggest tourist attractions of Krosnice and the surrounding area. This is not surprising, as the sight of a smoking steam locomotive and a journey along the nearly 3-kilometre-long route among rustling trees and singing birds does not happen often. The railway runs in the season from May to the end of September in the area of the Palace and Park Complex Krośnice - Wierzchowice, through which several tourist routes run. During the week, on Mondays and Fridays, the courses are operated by a diesel locomotive and at weekends by a steam locomotive.

Along the route, there are 5 smaller stations with thematic boards, creating an educational path called "Barycz Valley in miniature". During the trip, tourists learn about the beauty of the Barycz Valley.

The pride of the Krośnik rolling stock is the Px48-1907 steam locomotive produced in 1955 at the Chrzanów Locomotive Factory. As a curiosity it is also worth mentioning that years ago the same steam locomotive drove in the Milicz region. So we are dealing with a touching homecoming.

The Krośnicka Railway is one of the few active narrow gauge railways preserved in Poland. It was launched on 25 May 2013.

The Krosnica Narrow Gauge Railway is also an ideal place for school groups, who often combine their stay on the railway with the offer of the Environmental Education Centre in Krosnice, participating in numerous workshops.

The main station building houses the Tourist Information Centre and the railway bar. Two exhibition steam locomotives are set up next to the station. Near the main station, there is a barbecue shelter, a recreational pond as well as a playground.
