Category: technical_monument

An open-air museum on an abandoned railway embankment that introduces children to the history of rail transport. The main attraction is a 1950 steam locomotive you can look inside, along with mechanical semaphores, level-crossing barriers and signal boxes. A 2.5 km nature trail runs along the former track.

Why visit this place?

• The open-air museum was completed in November 2011 on an abandoned stretch of the Olomouc-Prague railway, built in 1845 and closed to traffic in June 2006.
• It includes three original railway bridges over the Moravská Sázava river and the 1845 gatekeeper's house at Lupěné, built by the Northern State Railway (StEG).
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly an hour and a half; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 40 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• An outdoor trip that, according to our records, runs all year round.
