The Schneebergbahn
Relax on the highest mountain in Lower Austria
A pure mountain experience with a panoramic view of the Vienna Alps: in 1897, the cog railroad steamed up Lower Austria's highest mountain, the Schneeberg, for the first time. Today, the modern tourist portal in Puchberg am Schneeberg serves as the starting point for the trips. During the season, the Salamander train takes just 40 minutes daily to the Hochschneeberg mountain station at 1,800 meters above sea level.
In the summer months, the nostalgic steam train - just like in the days of Emperor Franz Joseph - also sets off in comfort every second Sunday. Once at the top, the unspoiled beauty of nature, the Kaiserin Elisabeth Kircherl, the marked hiking trails and, above all, the unique panoramic views of the surrounding mountains are a delight.
The cooler air pampers body and soul
The cooler mountain air pampers body and soul, especially in summer temperatures. Of course, excellent cuisine is not neglected on the Schneeberg, the cozy huts entice with regional delicacies - the famous Schneebergbuchteln await at the Baumgartner station.
The Hochschneeberg mountain area, designed with nature in mind, invites you to linger and explore with its cozy rest areas, plenty of seating and the spacious adventure playground - great views are always guaranteed. The exciting history of the traditional Schneebergbahn can be experienced with the free Hearonymus audio guide.
