Buses to and from Elk - Bus schedules in Elk

In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of them sandy, although in truth it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space in high season anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.

How to get to and from Elk - buses and timetables

To get from or to Elk, you can use, for example, a bus. Sinbad coaches leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take more than a few minutes.

In our opinion, however, it is worth reaching Elk by bus, because trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.

The bus station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it does not exist, still serves our buses. It may not be as impressive now as the Elk railroad station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.

Elk is the third city in the Warmian-Masurian province in terms of population. Although, of course, compared to Olsztyn or Elblag it looks like a small town. Nevertheless, it has a whole range of attractions for both adults and children. Which makes it worth considering Elk as a base for exploring the area.
