The military narrow-gauge railway on the tip of the Hel Peninsula is a historic railway of military character, managed by the Hel Museum Complex (Coastal Defence Museum) together with the Hel Railway Museum. The railway is a tourist attraction available in the summer season, allowing visitors to tour the former German artillery positions and ammunition depots of the Schleswig-Holstein battery.
The railway was built for the needs of the Hel Fortified Area - it was used to transport ammunition and supplies between the positions of the coastal artillery battery. Over the years the route was opened to visitors.
The first train carries passengers from the B2 (Bruno) artillery position, home to the Coastal Defence Museum, to position no. 3 (Caesar). After changing trains, a second train leads to the grounds of the Ammunition Depots of the Schleswig-Holstein battery, where the Hel Railway Museum is located, featuring the unique LS-40 shunting locomotive. Museum admission is included in the ticket price.
The railway operates in the summer season. In 2025 it ran from 19 June to 15 September, with departures on average every 40 minutes, from about 10:30 to about 17:00 (last departure). Dates and times are set each season.
The site is located at the end of the Hel Peninsula in Hel (ul. Helska 16). Accessible by car, by rail (Hel station) or by water tram from the Tri-City and Władysławowo.
