Description of the attraction
The Danish Tram Museum is located between Roskilde and Ringstead, about 12 kilometers from the latter. This museum was founded in 1978 and is an open-air museum. Here you can find various types of old trams and other public transport, designed both in Denmark itself and in other countries from around the world.
The location of the tram museum is not accidental - until 1936 there was an old railway connecting Nestved with Frederikssund.
All tram trains presented in the museum are still valid. The museum includes two railways along which these trams run. One is intended for rolling stock from Aarhus, Flensburg and Swiss Basel. This 300-meter track is one meter, that is, the distance between the inner edges of the rails is 1 meter. The other track is made in accordance with European standards, and the distance between the inner edges of the rails is more than one meter. It is also longer and reaches a length of one and a half kilometers. Trains from Copenhagen, Odense and other European cities - Malmö, Oslo, Hamburg and Rostock pass here. The most "exotic" specimen in the tram collection is a train that arrived almost from the other end of the world - from Melbourne, Australia. He also moves on a longer track.
Sometimes the museum conducts guided tours of museum exhibits. The ticket is bought directly from the bus or tram conductor. During the excursion, tourists make several stops and changes, even call into the old tram depot. The route ends in a clearing in the middle of the forest - there is a small cafe. Visitors can walk in nature until the next stop of the vintage tram.
