Pedal on a railway out into the wilderness

A popular way to experience the magnificent countryside of Dalsland is on a railway inspection trolley. You travel on disused railway lines straight into the wilderness, where you can spot elk, deer and various birds. The route is between Bengtsfors and Årjäng, a distance of 52 kilometres.

The trolley has room for two, where one person pedals and the other one is passenger. The tour can be combined with gold panning, canoeing and an overnight stay in a traditional Sami tent. Trolleys can be hired in Bengtsfors or Årjäng.

 

As an alternative to the inspection trolleys, there are also railbuses operating  between Bengtsfors and Mellerud in conjunction with the canal boats on the Dalsland Canal. This round trip was created so that people who don’t have time to travel the entire canal but still want to experience some of the locks are able to see some of the most scenic sections of the canal, Håverud – Bengtsfors – Håverud, by train and boat.
