Zaręba (German: Lichtenau) is a railway station on the Wrocław Świebodzki–Zgorzelec railway in the village of Zaręba, Lubań County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.

History
The station opened on 20 September 1865 as Lichtenau, part of the Silesian Mountain Railway.[2] In 1915, it was renamed to Lichtenau (Schlesien) for designation. After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways. The station was renamed to Lichnów and later to its modern name, Zaręba in 1947.[3]
