Veteran railway
A veteran train line with the types of trains which were common in Denmark in the 1950s. This corresponds to the same time in which the railway line was disbanded by the original railway operator. The trains will take you from Faaborg to Korinth. The original line went all the way to Ringe, but today the rest of the train line has been converted to a hiking path. It is mainly open during the holidays and especially during the summer months. The train makes a return journey three times a day. The organisation who holds the trains and the corresponding line is entirely run by voluntary railway enthusiasts.
