The railway operates on a 600mm gauge track, which is significantly narrower than the standard 1,435mm gauge used for main railway lines.
The tracks are located directly on the property of the Landskron Brewery, which has been brewing beer since 1869.
The entire railway system is managed and maintained by a registered association of volunteers dedicated to preserving industrial rail history.
The route showcases historic brewery architecture that is not accessible via public tours.
The Görlitzer Parkeisenbahn is a narrow-gauge railway located within the grounds of the historic Landskron Brewery in Görlitz. The railway operates a 600mm gauge track, a size historically used for industrial and agricultural transport. It features a fleet of classic locomotives that run on a circular circuit, offering rides through the brewery's industrial landscape. The project is maintained by a local association of railway enthusiasts who preserve the operational machinery. The track sits adjacent to the Neisse river valley, providing a unique vantage point of the brewery’s brick architecture. It serves as a living museum of local railway heritage.
From the pedestrian crossing point where you can capture the locomotive entering the curve near the brewery brickwork.
