Pomeranian Narrow Gauge Railways Museum in Gryfice

The Pomeranian Narrow Gauge Railways Museum in Gryfice displays locomotives, carriages, and equipment from the regional narrow-gauge railway that once operated across West Pomerania. The collection shows how this transport system was built and functioned to serve communities and industry.

The narrow-gauge railway was built in the 1800s to link rural areas with towns and ports across the region. The museum opened in 1973 as a way to preserve this important part of transportation history.

The narrow-gauge network linked farming areas with towns and ports, making it possible to move people and goods quickly across the region. These routes were essential to how communities stayed connected and trade happened.

The museum is located in central Gryfice and is easy to reach on foot, with exhibits organized so visitors of all ages can explore them comfortably. The outdoor areas with locomotives and carriages can be visited in any season, so wear sturdy shoes.

The collection focuses on the 1000 millimeter track gauge, a distinctive feature of the West Pomeranian narrow-gauge network that made it work well on tight rural routes. This track width allowed the railway to go places larger standard-gauge trains could not reach.
