Säröbanan, Historic railway line in Västra Götaland, Sweden
Säröbanan is a former railway line that connects Gothenburg to the coastal area of Särö, running through varied landscapes. Today the route functions as a maintained path for cyclists and pedestrians with several access points along the way.
The railway opened in 1903 and provided a key connection for people traveling to the coast. It remained in operation until 1965, after which it was closed to train traffic.
The line made it possible for people from Gothenburg to reach the coast easily and spend leisure time by the sea. This shaped the region and turned it into a popular destination for those seeking fresh air and outdoor activity.
The path is easy to access with multiple starting points for visitors with different abilities. Rest areas are placed along the route where you can stop and enjoy the surroundings.
Several original railway structures still stand along the path, including old station buildings and bridges from the early 1900s. These structures tell the story of how transportation shaped the region.
