About
The Bieszczady Forest Railway (Bieszczadzka Kolejka Leśna) is a 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) narrow-gauge railway built in a sparsely populated, forested region of the Bieszczady Mountains. Construction commenced at the end of the 19th century and completed before World War I. Regular traffic ceased in 1994. Nowadays, from 1997, a part of the railway is utilized as a heritage railway and a tourist attraction. Trains run regularly on weekends from the beginning of May until October, and also on weekdays in July and August. It is the highest narrow-gauge line in Poland. The main station with all the rolling stock is located in Majdan near Cisna.
