Today I’m following the route of the Niederschlesisch-Märkische Eisenbahn that used to be the main line Berlin - Wrocław. It opened in 1846.
Today Berlin-Frankfurt(Oder)-Guben, and Żary-Wrocław still run, but the section between Guben and Żary has been dismantled. That’s where I’ll take to my bike today…
Here’s Wikipedia about the line: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niederschlesisch-M%C3%A4rkische_Eisenbahn?wprov=sfti1
