In the late 19th century, railway fever swept across Denmark. All over the country, railways were established that connected the small villages and local communities. But as soon as the mid 20th century, a large part of the train services were closed down again.
In the Aarhus Region, a lot of the closed down railways have been turned into recreational railway paths, available to anyone who likes to ride a bike or go hiking.
