The slides
The railroad between Vellinge and Skanör Falsterbo did not run with a profit.
The railroad between Vellinge and Skanör Falsterbo did not run with a profit. What to do? A bathing spot was built for the working people. Unlike the nice Falsterbo House where you were not allowed to change directly on the beach, but needed a bath house. Strandbaden opened during the summer of 1928 with both a dancefloor, restaurant, and slide. It cost 10 Swedish cents to ride the big one. You see, a mat was needed to sit on, or your behind would burn. Although young boys soon realized that when the orderly wasn t around one might as well go down the slide on a piece of algae! The slides disappeared during the icy winters of the war that ruined the bases.
