The Boří les – Lednice railway is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated as a state-guaranteed local railway Lundenburg – Eisgrub by the Brno Local Railway Company (BLEG). It branches off in Boří les ( Theimwald ) from the Břeclav – Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou railway line and runs to Lednice ( ice pit ) in South Moravia .

According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.

history

On August 6, 1901, the Brno local railway company received "the requested concession to build and operate a standard-gauge local railway from the Lundenburg station of the Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn, possibly using part of the Lundenburg – Zellerndorf line of this railway company via Unterthemenau to Eisgrub " granted.

Construction began on June 10, 1901. The Lundenburg – Eisgrub local line was opened on November 17, 1901. The new line branched off - as provided for in the concession - at the Theimwald station of the Lundenburg-Grußbacher Bahn . The trains of the local railway started and ended from the beginning in Lundenburg.

The management took over the kk priv. Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn , after its nationalization in 1909 the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). After the First World War , this task was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD).

Mostly older motor vehicles are used in tourist traffic on the weekends , here at the Lednice rybníky stop (2015)

After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Wien . The connection was now included in the Reich curriculum as KBS 462d Lundenburg – Eisgrub . This was accompanied by the final nationalization and dissolution of the Lundenburg – Eisgrub local railway. The law of August 2, 1940 "concerning the takeover of railways in the Reichsgau Sudetenland and in the parts of the southern German territories incorporated into the Reichsgaue Oberdonau and Niederdonau" regulated a. a. the nationalization of nine local railways with a total length of 169.77 km, in which the Czechoslovak state had already held the majority of the shares.

After the end of the Second World War , the line came back to the ČSD.

In 1978, due to a lack of capacity due to heavy freight traffic, travel was stopped and switched to a bus route. It was not until 1988 that passenger trains started using the route again as planned. Since June 1, 1991, passenger trains have only operated during the tourist season between May and September.

On January 1, 1993, as a result of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the line was transferred to the newly founded Czech state railway company České dráhy (ČD). Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).

The 2020 annual timetable provides for four pairs of passenger trains on weekends and public holidays in the period from May 1 to September 15. Historical railcars are used that are no longer used in regular traffic. A train with a steam locomotive runs two times a year.

Route description
