The Prague-Cibulka railway station is hidden in the upper part of the forest park stretching from Košíře to Motol and above the Cibulka estate, where a palliative and community center is being created thanks to the Vlčeks' family foundation. The railway between Smíchov and Hostivice was built in 1872 but was closed in 1877 due to low use. It was restored in 1928 and closed again ten years later. The railway building at the platform in the direction of Hostivice has been preserved. The Stodůlky railway station was established in 1938 closer to Zličín, and since 1976 it has been named Prague-Stodůlky. In 1989 it moved to the current location where the Cibulka station originally stood.
