East of Ostrów Tumski on the far bank of the river, beyond the Rondo Śródka intersection, you’ll find the western terminus of this tourist railway. It runs miniature trains along the shoreline of the 70-hectare artificial Lake Malta (Jezioro Maltańskie), a favourite summer spot for families, picnickers and boating enthusiasts. The railway terminates at the New Zoo.
