Visit the unique station, nothing has changed here since the last train ran in 1966. The station is really worth seeing. The waiting room, the ticket window, the office are all in original condition. You get an insight into how the stations used to work. Several scenes for Swedish film and TV have been recorded on site as the station is so well preserved.
