Regular connections between Neunkirchen, Gloggnitz, Reichenau, Schwarzau, Raach, Prigglitz and other places provide well thought-out connections - whether for excursions, culinary discoveries or at the end of a hike.
The journey becomes a journey through time: The Semmering Railway - UNESCO World Heritage Site and masterpiece of engineering - is more than just a connection. It leads through impressive landscapes from Semmering to Payerbach, past viaducts and tunnels, and turns the journey itself into a destination. A total of ten railway stations in the region make travelling locally particularly uncomplicated - especially for hikers: many tours, such as the railway hiking trailstart or end directly at a railway station.
If you like being on the move, get on your bike: the Schwarzatal cycle path leads from Neunkirchen via Gloggnitz to Reichenau. If you don't bring your own bike, you can hire one at several stations - whether as a sporting diversion or as a practical means of transport.
