The article is to show tourist assets of the cross-border railway line Brest-Chełm, which is disrupted by a state border and the lack of a bridge on the Bug River barring access to Brest-Włodawa line section on the Belarus side and to Włodawa-Chełm section on the Polish side. The locally operating sections, built in the eighties of the twentieth century, of the strategic railway linking the Warsaw-Terespol line with the Vistula River Railroad (Nadwiślańska) have a great potential for the develop¬ment of railway tourism. The line runs along prized nature areas of the macro-regions West Polesie and Wołyńskie Polesie. Sundry landscapes of the border countryside and their biological diversity are decisive in enjoying the highly valued scenery along the line on the Polish side. The attractiveness of the Belarus side – in practice accessible to foreigners following the intro¬duction of the tourist and recreation zone ‘Brest’ in 2018 – is usually associated with the uncommon rules of travelling by train in the Belarus cross-border region. Both fragments of the line Brest-Chełm lead to and run through interesting tourist localities and cross-border culture sites. The article also touches on the present restrictions for railway tourism along this route, and the chances of reviving regular traffic in the Polish section in view of the governmental programme Kolej+.

The article discusses conditions for the development of tourism within the countries forming the Polish–Belarusian–Ukrainian tri-border zone and the surrounding areas. The research focused on the Brest raion and the city of Brest in Belarus, the Shatsk raion in Ukraine, and Włodawski poviat in Poland, which is in fact directly adjacent to the border. What is more, this article features socio-economic determinants of tourism development, including transport location. Other than that, it also examines the tourist values, facilities, and traffic in said areas. Particular attention was paid to border infrastructure and the possibility of crossing the border as a necessary factor for the development of cross-border tourism.

The paper presents changes in the operation of the railway junction in Chojnice and neighbouring areas, and the impact thereof in the years 1989-2017. The analysis covers infrastructural changes, passenger traffic and organisational changes resulting from the transformation of the Polish State Railways (PKP) after 1989. The Chojnice railway junction, operating since the seventies of the nineteenth century is one of the biggest junctions in northern Poland. Regress of railway transport in the studied period noted throughout Poland resulted in closing down a number of railway lines in the vicinity and a reduction of operating connections and technical facilities. This led to limiting access to rail transport and to the peripheral role of the area in the region. Plans for upgrading the rail network provide an opportunity for improving the situation, particularly the electrification of the junction and the establishing of a terminal for collective transport at the neglected railway station described in the final part of the paper.
