The Dresden Park Railway will be making its rounds again in the state capital's Great Garden from next Saturday. This marks the start of the 77th season for the popular train. For Mayor of Culture Annekatrin Klepsch (Left Party), it is part of Dresden's cultural heritage. The park railroad is a special way to experience the Great Garden. The Liliput train runs on a 381 millimeter gauge.

In 2025, the park railroad celebrated its 75th birthday and welcomed a good 224,000 passengers. That was almost 3,500 more than in the previous year. The train has been running through Dresden's green oasis since 1950, exuding charm with its steam clouds and whistle signals. It is also popular with tourists, and sights such as the Palais Großer Garten and Lake Carola can be easily reached by train. There is also a stop at the zoo.
