Local Poland officials have received a new anonymous tip claiming to reveal the location of the legendary Nazi “gold train,” a long-rumored World War II-era railway carriage allegedly filled with stolen art, gold, and priceless documents. The latest clue points to a hidden tunnel in the Wałbrzych Forest District, reports www.coasttocoastam.com. According to documents obtained by media, an unnamed individual filed a formal report under Poland’s 2025 Found Objects Act, citing the discovery of “three freight train wagons from WWII, concealed behind a sliding steel gate inside a camouflaged tunnel.” Each wagon is described as roughly 12 meters long and 4 meters wide, potentially containing precious metals. The tipster provided geographic coordinates, terrain profiles, and even a witness account from a wartime resident but withheld exact details, offering to share them only with city officials. Kamila Świerczyńska, spokesperson for Wałbrzych’s city hall, confirmed receipt of the letter, which was forwarded to the crisis management office. However, she declined to comment on whether authorities would pursue the claim. In late April, officials met with the informant, alongside Anna Nowakowska, a regional heritage conservator, to outline legal requirements for excavation. “This is the third such claim since 2018,” Nowakowska noted, tempering expectations. The informant, she said, had “analyzed documents” and concluded the train lay within Wałbrzych’s forests—though no formal search request followed. Jarosław Zająć, a local forestry official, added that while treasure hunters frequently seek permits for artifact recovery, none have yet applied to dig for the gold train. The myth of Wałbrzych’s gold train dates back to 2015, when global media seized on reports of a Nazi armored train supposedly hidden in a sealed tunnel. Theories suggest it contains loot plundered from Lower Silesia as Nazi forces retreated. Despite multiple searches—including a high-profile 2016 effort that yielded nothing—the train’s existence remains unproven. Under Polish law, accidental discoveries during permitted searches aren’t eligible for rewards, though finders may keep non-historic valuables. Nowakowska, while supportive of “passionate” amateur archaeologists, admitted she’d prefer the train to hold “art over gold” for its cultural value.
