The Mariazellerland holiday region is ideal for a relaxing holiday without a car. Many excursion destinations, but also breathtaking hiking areas such as the "Ötscher-Tormäuer" nature park, are easily accessible to the public, and the journey with the famous Mariazeller Railway is an experience in itself.

 

The "Traisental cycle path" starting from St. Pölten or Mariazell is predestined for a car-free cycling holiday and is also well connected to the public transport network of the Mariazeller Railway.

 

A visit to the "Laubenbachmühle operations center" is particularly worthwhile for all railway enthusiasts: The Laubenbachmühle operations center is the starting point for the "Himmelstreppe". The Himmelstreppe is a modern, environmentally friendly means of transport that takes passengers from Laubenbachmühle through the Dirndl Valley to St. Pölten and past the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park to Mariazell. The panorama cars are the highlight of the Mariazeller Railway with a first class interior, panoramic glazing and breathtaking views. You are out and about on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from May to October as well as in Advent. Delicious breakfast variations, pastries and drinks from the region round off the driving experience. The highlights of the season are the themed trips, such as a Mother's Day brunch or the culinary pleasure train with a dinner on the train. The "Ötscherbär" adventure train runs on Saturdays in Advent and from May to October. New: In the summer season 2022, the Ötscherbär will also be out and about on Sundays and public holidays from July. The Mh.6 steam locomotive runs on the second Sunday of each month from May to October and on selected dates in Advent.
