Košice Children's Historic Railway
Košická detská historická železnica
A narrow-gauge forest railway through the Čermeľ valley, where steam locomotives pull trains through the woods. It is operated with help from children and is a weekend outing for families.
The railway was built in 1956. It runs about 4 km from Čermeľ station to Alpinka station, passing through forest and valleys in the northwest of the city. Some services are hauled by old steam locomotives. By tradition, young railway attendants help with ticket checks and departures. A one-way trip takes about 20 minutes. There are trails and a restaurant near Alpinka. The railway runs only on weekends and public holidays in the warm season, so check the timetable before you go.
