Description

Pure RAILWAY experience

For over 115 years steam and diesel locomotives have puffed and rumbled between Gmünd, Groß Gerungs and Litschau, the "high north "of Lower Austria. The Waldviertel Railway travels along ingeniously-constructed routes through forests and meadows, past ponds and imposing granite blocks. Come and enjoy a journey which will give you a new perspective on the Waldviertel region.

The extremely varied programme of events and the countless opportunities for excursions with a vintage train set including a diesel or steam locomotive, with the restaurant car and the golden rail car make an excursion on the Waldviertel Railway a special experience.
