Polana Jakuszycka Sports Center in Lower Silesia: Straight from the train to the slopes

A stop right next to the sports center

Did you know that the Polana Jakuszycka train station on Poland’s highest-altitude railway line has undergone a major change? In 2022, it was moved 600 meters closer to the Czech border. As a result, trains on Line L1 (Liberec – Harrachov – Szklarska Poręba Górna) now stop right next to the modern Lower Silesian Sports Center in Jakuszyce.

Comfortable facilities for athletes

You’ll step off the train practically right into the complex. This means you don’t have to worry about complicated transfers—everything is right at your fingertips:

  • Reception and locker rooms: You can rent a locker to store your personal belongings and clothing.
  • Rental: If you don’t have your own cross-country skis, you can easily rent them here.
  • Dining: On the first floor, you’ll find a restaurant with a beautiful view of the sports complex.

From the first floor of the center, you’ll walk through an outdoor area straight onto the groomed trail. It’s the ideal starting point for cross-country skiers and hikers alike.
