Mariazellerbahn

Highlight • Structure

One of the few remaining narrow-gauge railways in Austria. It runs between St. Pölten and Mariazell, making it ideal for excursions—from pilgrimages to Mariazell, to mountain hikes on the Ötcher, to cycling along the railway line.

The train runs fairly frequently, tickets can be purchased on the train, and there's plenty of space for bicycles. If you want to be safe, you can also reserve your bicycle space in advance—not through the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), but through the Mariazell Railway's own online shop.

Mariazellerbahn Railway Crossing near Wasserkraftwerk Mainburg

Highlight • Structure

Near the Mainburg hydroelectric power plant, the Mariazell Railway runs through the Pielach Valley, crossing the road at a level crossing in an open landscape. The line lies between Rabenstein an der Pielach and the request stop in Mainburg and is surrounded by fields, meadows, and the Pielach River. The level crossing is also accessible to cyclists, as the Pielach Valley Cycle Path runs in close proximity. This makes the characteristic combination of railway, river, and technical facilities like the hydroelectric power plant particularly enjoyable to experience from a bicycle.

St. Laurentius Church, Rabenstein an der Pielach

Highlight • Religious Site

November 17, 2018 - One of the parish priests who held prominent positions in the parish was Wilhelm Zedinek (1936-1949), who later became Abbot of Göttweig Abbey. The parish of Rabenstein is also the birthplace of arguably the most significant spiritual and intellectual figure in 20th-century Austrian church life: Cardinal Franz König. He was born on August 3, 1905, in the Warth district at number 11 and received the sacrament of baptism in this parish church.

Gothic Church and Skywalk, Kirchberg an der Pielach

Highlight • Viewpoint

As soon as we cycled past, the skywalk in front of the church caught our eye. So we climbed the Kirchenberg to visit the lovingly designed area around the Gothic church. A beautiful place and the view from the skywalk is amazing!

We left early, but it was still very hot towards the end. Now we're taking a break.

June 23, 2023,Pielachtal- / Römerradweg: von Loich nach St. Pölten

Start from the Alpenbahnhof St. Pölten (large free car park). Mariazellerbahn to Loich (barrier-free, reserve a bicycle parking space!).
Pielachtalradweg and Römerradroute are very well signposted. The route mostly runs along the Pielach or the tracks of the Mariazell Railway.
The bike tour is very easy, mostly slightly downhill, many rest areas, restaurants, sights and also bathing opportunities along the …
