Heritage transport

Narrow-gauge railways and heritage transport

Dozens of narrow-gauge railways once ran through the Carpathians, carrying timber and people. Only a few survive, and today a ride on a Carpathian tram or a retro train is an adventure of its own: a slow journey along a river valley, old carriages, a locomotive and views you will never see from the road.

This section lists tourist narrow-gauge lines, retro trains and other historic transport you can buy a ticket for. A ride like this suits families with children and anyone not planning long hikes.

Tip: most heritage routes run seasonally and only to a timetable, and weekend tickets sell out fast. Check the operator’s official pages and arrive at the station early.
