Hedelands Veteranbane - heritage railway in Hedeland

Hedeland Vintage Railway offers a train ride of about 5 km each way, around 10 km return, through a varied landscape where former gravel pits have been transformed into a green area rich in wildlife. The trains are operated by steam and diesel locomotives of historic types, once used on Denmark’s narrow-gauge industrial railways.

Experiences Along the Line

There are eight stops along the route where passengers can get off and explore the surroundings. The area features a nature playground and opportunities to discover the unique terrain. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the outdoor setting, with tables and benches available along the line.

For some, the journey is a nostalgic experience; for others, it is an introduction to Denmark’s railway heritage.

Visit the Museum and the Carriage Shed

The Carriage Shed houses an exhibition about Denmark’s industrial railways, displayed through original carriages and locomotives. The exhibition presents the history and significance of industrial railways, and visitors can also see rolling stock awaiting restoration.

Combine the train ride with a museum visit for a deeper insight into an important chapter of Danish industrial and transport history.

Check the current timetable when choosing your train and intermediate stops. The carriage shed has separate opening days and is not necessarily open for every departure.
