Lower Silesia boasts many picturesque bike routes. One of the most popular places for bike lovers is the Ślęża Massif. Koleje Dolnośląskie S.A. has launched special bike wagons for the second time, which run on summer weekends on the Wrocław Główny – Jaworzyna Śląska route via Sobótka and Świdnica.

In 2024, the bike wagons will stop at more stops: Wrocław Główny, Wrocław Partynice, Sobótka, Sobótka Zachodnia, Świdnica Miasto, Jaworzyna Śląska. The route is not accidental – it gives you the opportunity to choose from many bike routes.

The Ślęża Massif is popular with bike lovers of various skill levels, as everyone will find a route suitable for them here. Due to the popularity of this destination, the bike wagons of Koleje Dolnośląskie stop at both stations in Sobótka.
However, it is also worth taking the train further, to Świdnica, and getting to know the city and its surroundings from the perspective of two wheels, setting off, for example, along the bicycle route running along the trail of palaces, manors and residences or to Lake Bielawskie. In turn, in Jaworzyna Śląska, at the Railway Museum, two bicycle routes dedicated to technical monuments begin. One of them leads, among others, to the 13th-century mill in Świdnica, from where we can set off on the scenic route leading around Ślęża, and then end the bicycle trip in Sobótka and board the return train with a bicycle carriage to Wrocław.

The bicycle carriages of Koleje Dolnośląskie are freight carriages adapted to transport two wheels. The special system of holders installed in them allows for the stable transport of up to 36 bicycles of various types – road, enduro, MTB, tourist or children’s. By purchasing a ticket for transporting a bicycle in a special carriage, you are guaranteed a place for your vehicle, and you will travel in comfortable conditions.

The bicycle carriages of Koleje Dolnośląskie run on summer weekends. At each station, you can load and unload a bicycle. The carriages are serviced by teams of conductors. Before handing the bicycle to the conductor, you should unfasten it with additional equipment, such as a pannier, seat or basket. Be sure to keep the receipt with the unique number that you will receive from the carriage staff. For loading to be efficient, you should appear on the platform no later than 10 minutes before the train’s departure.

Transporting a bicycle in a special carriage costs only PLN 7. You can buy a ticket five days before the planned journey, but no later than 15 minutes before the train’s departure, at KD ticket offices, BOK in Wrocław and via the KOLEO system.
You can also buy a ticket for transporting a bicycle from the conductor no later than 10 minutes before the train departs, provided there are still places in the special carriage. You will pay 8.20 PLN for a ticket from the conductor.
