The Polish side of the Neisse is very interesting and also great for cycling. Of course also for hiking/walking.

The Neisse Viaduct in Görlitz is a railway bridge over the Lusatian Neisse between Germany and Poland.
The 475-meter-long viaduct is one of the largest and oldest railway bridges in Germany.
It was opened in 1847 with the railway line between Görlitz and Kohlfurt as part of the then rail connection between the Saxon capital Dresden and the Silesian provincial capital Breslau.
After about 100 years, the highest arches were blown up at the end of the Second World War and rebuilt in the 1950s under Polish management.
The rebuilt arches differ significantly in color from the older part of the viaduct.
Since May 1957, trains have been able to cross the Lusatian Neisse at this point and thus also the German-Polish border.
In 2012, three cross-border passenger train pairs used the viaduct every day on the Dresden-Breslau route.
The border crossing plays only a minor role in freight traffic.
Most freight trains use the more northern railway line Węgliniec–Roßlau with the border crossing Zentendorf/Bielawa Dolna.

Since February 28, 2009, three pairs of passenger trains have once again run between Dresden and Wrocław over the viaduct. However, electric train service has not resumed since the viaduct's reconstruction, as the Soviet Union dismantled the overhead wire west and east of the Neisse after the war in the autumn of 1945. In 2011, it was announced in the local press that the Polish Railway, which owns the viaduct, planned to renovate the railway bridge by 2013 and simultaneously prepare for electrification.

Construction work was completed at the end of 2013. Renovation and maintenance work was carried out on the tracks and substructure. The permitted speed was increased from 30 to 80 kilometers per hour. Heavy freight trains can now also cross the viaduct. The PKP had the parapet removed and replaced with a new one. Furthermore, new sand traps for drainage were installed, lights were installed, and new control systems for rail traffic were installed.
