The dishes offered and the selection are very good. The staff is particularly friendly and attentive to the guests. The price level is appropriate.

From the Payerbach-Reichenau station, the first major structure of the Semmering Railway can already be made out. With a length of 227.6 meters and a height of 24.7 meters, the viaduct forms the longest structure of its kind on the Semmering line.

Even when it's busy, in St. Wolfgang people take the time for a "little chat". The cooking and baking are absolutely wonderful, and the prompt and friendly service also leaves nothing to be desired. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Reichenau Castle in Reichenau an der Rax was first mentioned in a document in 1256. Today it is used for exhibitions, concerts, and seminars.

The Schwarza Viaduct is an imposing structure and a great photo opportunity along the route. Its high arches are particularly impressive when you walk underneath or alongside it. A short stop is worthwhile to take in its dimensions and its location above the Schwarza River.

The fishing promenade along the Schwarza River is a relaxing riverside path offering a strong connection to nature and a pleasant tranquility. You'll mostly walk directly alongside the clear water, accompanied by the sound of the river and beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. It's ideal for a short break or a leisurely stroll.

The Payerbach Viaduct is an impressive structure on the Semmering Railway and a real photo opportunity on your tour. With its high arches, it spans the valley dramatically and demonstrates how spectacularly engineering can be integrated into the landscape. It looks particularly beautiful in the morning or late afternoon, depending on the light.
