If your mountain trail has brought you to Jelenia Góra, it's worth taking a break from the peaks and stepping back in time – to an era when trams rattled through the town toward Cieplice and Sobieszów. The historic Type N tram is a reminder of the transport system that operated here continuously from 1897 to 1969.

This spot is perfect for hikers who, after coming down from the Karkonosze Mountains, want to soak up a bit of Jelenia Góra's urban character. The streets once used by electric trams now guide pedestrians and visitors between the main square and the old depot. Walking along the trace of the old line is a pleasant addition to a mountain trip, especially in autumn and winter when the weather isn't inviting for further climbs and the town itself hides plenty of historic details worth discovering.

• Jelenia Góra town centre (main square) — on foot, a few minutes, easy route
• Jelenia Góra Main Railway Station — on foot towards the centre, approx. 15-20 minutes, easy route

• Trams operated in Jelenia Góra from 10 April 1897 to 28 April 1969
• The first electric line connected the depot in Malinnik with the Main Railway Station
• On the last day, 28 April 1969, tram rides were free of charge

Fun fact: a tram appeared once more on the streets of Jelenia Góra on 1 May 1969, during a parade – not a regular service, but a symbolic close to over 70 years of tram history.
