In this place, the Ińsko Wąskotorowe station existed on the line of the former Stargard Narrow-Gauge Railway, SKD, in German Saatziger Kleinbahnen, Szadzka Narrow-Gauge Railway (from the name of the district) – a narrow-gauge railway, with 119.6 km of 1000 mm gauge tracks. Currently, an asphalt cycle path runs here on the Western Lakes Route R20 Ińsko - Kozy. The Ińsko (Nörenberg) station was the terminal station of the first line of the Szadzka Narrow-Gauge Railway, opened on January 14, 1895. Just four months later, on May 12, 1895, it became a through station when the section to Studnica was opened. The next section Studnica–Jankowo Pomorskie was opened on October 1, 1897. The station had a station building with a warehouse, a ramp, and attached toilets. Goods unloading took place from the loading track to the warehouse ramp or to the loading areas on both sides of the station building. A separate storage yard was also designated. In 1922, a siding was laid to the lime works. On the opposite side of the station's track layout were the locomotive shed (initially two-bay, expanded in 1928 to three bays), the fuel depot, and an underground oil store. In 1938, a hall for servicing diesel railcars was also built. Currently, among other things, the characteristic brick station building has been preserved here (now the SKD Narrow-Gauge Railway Museum).
