You can take the stream train to Bakken, or to Kronborg to meet Santa and enjoy the Helsingør Christmas market, or you can take the train to the old mill at Hammermøllen, or to the train museum at Sporvognsmuseet.

Find more information at the site of veterantoget.dk, unfortunately only in Danish, but with great pictures so you can see where the different rides will take you.

For those who have been in Denmark for some years, the veteran train may be known for taking people to cut down their own Christmas tree. This is no longer an option, but the other trips are fun too.

The trips are all arranged by the old steam train museum, Nordsjællands Veterantog located at Græsted Stationsvej 84, in Græsted about 50 km north of Copenhagen.
