The Hirschberger Talbahn - until 1940 Hirschberger Thalbahn - established an overland tram connection from the district town of Hirschberg (Jelenia Góra) to the northern edge of the Giant Mountains in the province of Silesia. It was opened in 1897 as a standard-gauge gas railway, converted to electric operation and meter gauge in 1900, and survived the Second World War undamaged.
Operations ceased on the last remaining stretch of line between Hirschberg and Bad Warmbrunn (Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój) in 1969.

The historic tram in Jelenia Góra was a significant part of the city's infrastructure and a symbol of the region's technological development. Here's a brief overview of its history and significance:
🚋 Origins & Development
Opening: On April 10, 1897, operations began with gas-powered trams between the main station and Herischdorf (now Malinnik).
Electrification: The line was electrified as early as 1900, with sections to Cieplice (Bad Warmbrunn) and later to Podgórzyn Górny.
Gauge: Originally 1435 mm (standard gauge), later converted to 1000 mm to better manage the tight curves and gradients of the old town.
