Mountain railway · 84 km · about 2 h 30 · from €22 · panoramic carriage at weekends

The 84 km of narrow-gauge track that climb from St. Pölten up the Pielach valley, cross the Ötscher-Tormäuer nature park and end in Mariazell, already in Styria. It is the classic way to Mariazell and a journey in itself: viaducts, tunnels, the Erlaufklause reservoir and stops such as Laubenbachmühle or Wienerbruck. Every day the modern Himmelstreppe trains run; on weekends from May to early November and in Advent the panoramic carriage, with breakfast on request, and the Ötscherbär with an open carriage are added. From 2 to 20 November 2026 the line closes for works and buses replace it between St. Pölten and Mariazell: check the status on the website before you go.
