Embark on a journey by steam train, railbus, and vintage bus along one of Sweden’s most beautiful railways – the Lennakatten Heritage Railway. The steam locomotive offers some serious Hogwarts vibes, while the charming retro railbuses are a perfect way to discover the landscapes of Uppland at a relaxed pace.
All aboard Lennakatten! Travel back in time – through lush forests, open fields, and quaint little stations in the heart of Uppland. This historic railway, dating back to the late 19th century, takes you from Uppsala Östra to Faringe. With steam engines, railbuses, and classic carriages, Lennakatten offers a nostalgic and scenic experience for visitors of all ages.
Along the way, you can stop at the Railway Café in Marielund, explore the locomotive and carriage halls in Faringe, or hop off at the summer paradise Fjällnora, with its swimming spots and friendly farm animals. You can also enjoy a delicious meal at Länna Bruk’s restaurant or try the famous steam-train steak at Augusts Värdshus in Almunge. While in Almunge, you can also visit Thun’s Department Store and Café Gobiten.
Lennakatten departs from Uppsala Östra station, located just behind Uppsala Central Station on Stationsgatan. During summer, trains run several times a week, making it an ideal day trip for families, train enthusiasts, or anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the journey itself. In winter, keep an eye out for the popular Santa Trains – but book quickly, as these special rides often sell out.
