Holidays 2026 in Nałęczów - Vistula Narrow-Gauge Railway
The Vistula Narrow-Gauge Railway named after Jan Kleniewski is the only active narrow-gauge railway in the Lublin Voivodeship and one of the few in Poland still running on regular tourist routes.
Its history dates back to 1892 when the Kleniewski family laid the first wooden tracks on the Polanów estate - horse-drawn wagons carried sugar beets to the “Zagłoba” sugar factory. After 1900, steam traction replaced them, and in 1916 the route reached Nałęczów. The peak was in the 1960s when the railway employed 253 workers and served factories throughout western Lublin. Today it runs slower - and that's the whole point.
Over 50 km of historic tracks with a gauge of 750 mm, 11 railway stations, wagons recalling the PRL era. The route goes through fields, orchards, and forests - through Wąwolnica, Karczmiska, Poniatowa. During the holiday season, the train runs on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Departures at 10:00 and 11:30, bike railcars from 14:00.
On the route, you can ask the driver to stop anywhere - for souvenir photos or because the view outside the window is too good to miss.
The journey ends at Karczmiska station - the heart of the railway. Here you will find the Railway Museum with archival photos on canvases, an observation tower with a terrace and telescope showing the panorama of Lublin region to the horizon, and a relaxation area with a bonfire on weekends. On request, famous broad bean dumplings are served in the wagons.
