Take a trip back in time on the ”Lennakatten” heritage railroad

The narrow gauge (891 mm) line runs 33km (20 miles) east from the city of Uppsala, using part of an extensive earlier rail-road network railroad. Many of the locomotives and coaches date back to the 19th century, carefully restored to their original state and lovingly maintained. The train passes many historical sites, churches from medieval times and the former Lenna Bruk ironworks.
Several restaurants and coffee shops along the way offer plenty of choice for refreshments.
The heritage railway association is based at the end of the line in Faringe, and we can organize visits to the engine shed and workshops, where several engines and coaches are being restored and renovated.
