Interesting facts

3

The route passes directly through protected nature areas of the Wielkopolski National Park.

4

Operating the draisine is a team-based activity that requires coordination among passengers to maintain speed.

5

The track is a surviving fragment of a broader narrow-gauge network that historically served the local industrial and forest sectors.

Overview

Mosińska Kolej Drezynowa offers a unique hands-on rail experience where visitors propel hand-operated or pedal-powered draisines along a defunct narrow-gauge railway line. The track spans several kilometers, leading passengers through the diverse forest landscapes of the Wielkopolski National Park. Participants must physically operate the light rail vehicles to traverse the route, making it an active outdoor activity rather than a passive ride. The track originates near the historic Mosina station area and extends into the surrounding woodland areas. It is an independent tourist attraction that utilizes the infrastructure of the former railway line for recreational purposes.
