Historic-NME-Train - from Berlin via Cottbus to Wroclaw

1846 - 2026: The Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway (NME) connected Berlin with Wroclaw from 1846, then the kingdom's second-largest city. To celebrate the 180th anniversary of this history, the journey takes place on an alternative route - from Cottbus with the historic steam locomotive 01 1104, which was based in Wroclaw during World War II. In Zagan, the route meets the actual "birthday route"; there the locomotive takes on water, and passengers have a brief opportunity to visit the railway museum directly at the station.

In Wroclaw, tourists can choose from several all-day excursions, all conducted with historic vehicles.
