Dresden to Poland...

[stuartmoss]

I believe that there is a daily train service from Dresden to Poland (or at least there was), I think it's just a Siemens unit, but I cannot for the life of me remember where the final destination in Poland is - can someone help? I believe the journey time was around 4-4 1/2 hours. I've got a week in Dresden in Feb / March and am thinking of finishing it with trip to Poland if it works.

Thanks in advance.

Possibly Wroclaw/Breslau the capital of Silesia?

If it is then the city is definitely worth a visit!

Dresden to Wroclaw via Gorlitz, three times a day direct.

YES - thank you! I just couldn't remember the name of the city, I think it having two different names didn't help! Cheers.

Do you just want to sample Polish Railways for a few hours or do you actually want to stay in Poland?

If it is the former (in the form of a day trip) and strictly for railways then you only need go as far as Wegliniec which is a PKP railway junction with decent interesting freight

Wroclaw is great, try to see the Jahrhunderthalle (Centenary Hall)

A Dresden–Wrocław Regio Spezial ticket on the direct RE is EUR.39 return, valid 3 days, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the DB booking engine.

If travelling one way, a ES-Poland starts at EUR19, but using the daily and incredibly slow EC Wawel between Cottbus and Wroclaw.
