Park Railway Cottbus

DISCOVER COTTBUS | a trip through the Cottbus parkland

When the Park Railway was set up to Cottbus in 1954, it only went from the Eliaspark to the zoo at merely one kilometer. The Cottbus Park Railway is grown, primarily by the Federal horticulture show (first in the new federal states), considerably to this day. And the Park Railway employees have big plans!

Sandow - Eliaspark - Parkcafé

The business plant of the Park Railway is due to the traffic junction in the Cottbus district Sandow: the tracks of the streetcar, the Deutsche Bahn and that one of the Cottbus Park Railway, touch themselves here. At first the way still runs parallel to the regular-lane railway route before the Park Railway turns left to the station "Stadion der Freundschaft" (football stadium of the FC Energie Cottbus) shortly before the Eliaspark.

Here one can insert an excursion to the water playground in the Eliaspark or to the Spreeauenpark at the former terminus of the Park Railway. Unfortunately, the station is only frequented little so that it is usually only occupied for operational purposes. The Park Railway goes in an S curve round the Cottbus exhibition halls. The Park Railway runs parallel to the Spreeauenpark and to the pedestrian way into the stop "Parkcafé" (nice restaurant and café).

Park Railway Cottbus between Zoo and Parkcafé

Parkcafé - Zoo Cottbus & Branitz Park - Branitz

"Next station: Cottbus zoo": the possibility of going to the zoo or strolling in the Branitzer park offers itself at the station zoo. This one is the most frequented station of the Park Railway Cottbus.

It follows the longest track section of the Park Railway Cottbus: the one from the station zoo to the station park and castle Branitz. The way of the Park Railway leads along the street and past at the elephant house of the Cottbus zoo.
