Kunice is a railway station on the Wrocław–Gubinek railway in the village of Kunice, Legnica County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.

With its opening in June 2025, Kunice is one of Poland's newest railway stations.[1]

History

Between 1910 and 1945, a passing loop was located at the site of the current station, named Kunitz-Überholungsgleis lit. 'Kunice passing loop'. After World War II, the passing loop was converted to a siding, which was eventually demolished.[2]

Part of the Governmental Programme for the Construction or Modernisation of Railway Stops for 2021–2025, Kunice railway station was constructed at the site of the former passing loop at a cost of approximately 6.5 million Polish Złoty.[3] The new station opened on 15 June 2025.[4]

There are currently plans to build a new pavement and bicycle path between Ziemnice and Kunice, easing access to Kunice railway station.[4]
