Uzhhorod children's railway, railway line in Ukraine
The Uzhhorod children's railway is a small train line built for young visitors and their families, running along the Uzh River. The route connects two stations named Molodezhnaya and Park over roughly 1.1 kilometers, featuring simple station buildings at each end.
The railway opened in 1947 after the Second World War as a place where children could learn about and experience trains firsthand. It was built as part of local efforts to provide education and entertainment for young people during the period of post-war rebuilding.
The railway's name reflects its purpose as a place built specifically for children to experience trains and travel in a safe way. Today, visitors experience it as a quiet landmark where families connect with local history and share memories of earlier times in the city.
The track runs as a simple loop near a green park with trees and open spaces where visitors can rest before or after their ride. The station is easy to find with clear signage and friendly staff who are happy to help guide visitors through their experience.
This line is the shortest children's railway in Ukraine, running alongside the Uzh River with green trees on both sides. Today it no longer operates regularly, but visitors come to see the quiet tracks and reflect on the local history it represents.
