The Wachau Railway
Panoramic ride through the World Heritage Site
Climb aboard and enjoy the Wachau - the golden Wachau Railway runs daily between Krems an der Donau and Emmersdorf until November 3, 2024. The golden railcars with large panoramic windows and the elevated route provide very special views of the unique beauty of the Wachau in autumn.
The Wachau Railway, also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been operating in this region for more than 110 years. Today it connects the two towns of Krems an der Donau and Emmersdorf over a distance of 34 km. Numerous excursion highlights along the route combine nature, culture, wine and culinary delights and invite young and old to linger and explore.
Thirteen train stations invite young and old to linger, marvel and discover. A Wachau boat trip, a visit to the Lower Austrian State Gallery or a hike can be perfectly combined with the train ride experience. A combined train and bike excursion is also an option, as the bike travels free of charge with the passenger on the Wachau Railway (advance reservation is required!).
