The first version of the railway, about half as long, was opened in 1897 and shut down in 1959 due to obsolescence. After an overhaul and extension, it was reopened to the public in July 1973 after the entire facility had been overhauled, extended to a length of 196 m and equipped with two new vehicles.

Hiking

The Skansen Bergbanan is a historic funicular in Stockholm that transports visitors from the Slussen district to the Skansen open-air museum on Djurgården. A ride on it is worth it not only to enjoy scenic views of Stockholm and the surrounding countryside, but also to experience a traditional form of transport and get to the Skansen Museum in comfort.
