Wrocław Świebodzki Station

A Hidden Secret Attraction in Wrocław

Wrocław Świebodzki Station (a ghost station) is one of the attractions that you will not find in regular travel guides to Wrocław, Poland. I would classify this as one of the secret attractions of Wrocław that will delight those in search of abandoned railway infrastructure. You can wander among abandoned railway tracks and wish that we had something similar in the UK. Our railway operators have historically quickly ripped up unused railway tracks, along with any associated infrastructure.

The last trains to Wrocław Świebodzki Station operated in 1991. Although overhead power line gantries still remain, the power lines have since been removed. The main railway tracks into this terminus station have also gone. However, on one side of this vast expanse of land, you can still see some abandoned railway tracks.

Will Trains Run Again to Wrocław Świebodzki Station?

Apparently Yes! Source: The Świebodzki market is to be closed. It must make room for trains. Tu Wrocław. In Polish. Imagine that happening in the UK. There are some examples of trains returning to abandoned railway stations in the UK. Source: List of Beeching cuts service reopenings. Wikipedia. Within the vast array of UK stations and railways that have been permanently closed, the list found at the above web link represents a tiny fraction of the stations and railway routes that have been lost forever.

The Świebodzki market mentioned above refers to a large flea market that takes place every Sunday. Although I made another visit to Wrocław Świebodzki Station on a Sunday, the flea market aspect held little interest for me, and I did not take any photographs.

I first visited Wrocław Świebodzki Station during a very hot and sunny day in June 2025. I was able to wander without hindrance under the remaining platform canopy and the remaining railway tracks.

A works train left Legnica bound for Wrocław Świebodzki

On 17 March 2023, a Lower Silesian Railways works train left Legnica bound for Wrocław Świebodzki. The complete cab view video is 1 hour and 3 minutes. However, you can fast-forward the video to 34 minutes and 16 seconds to see the last leg of this train journey. At 43 minutes 36 seconds, you can see a works crew, which will lead on foot to Wrocław Świebodzki. The train follows the works crew at a walking pace on the remaining railway tracks, extending as far as Wrocław Świebodzki Station.
