A journey for the senses.
Ötscherland-Express Heritage Railway
When the steam locomotive of the Ötscherland-Express departs from Kienberg-Gaming, it feels like stepping back in time. The rhythm of the wheels, the scent of coal or diesel, the gentle pace – everything makes this ride on the historic Ybbstal mountain line unforgettable.
The heritage train travels 17 kilometers through forests, across old viaducts, and past the Kartause Gaming. Tight curves, rock cuttings, and views of the Ybbstal Alps let you discover the landscape in a whole new way. At 25 km/h, there is time to watch, photograph, and simply enjoy.
The season runs from May to October. Whether alone, with friends, or in a group – a ride on the Ötscherland-Express is more than an excursion: it is living history, combining engineering, nature, and nostalgia.
