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.

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.

The climbing hall with a special architecture is said to be one of the most beautiful climbing halls in Austria. There is also a therapy and climbing center here

A very interesting garden where you can learn a lot about the herbs, worth a stop on a bike tour.

Mariazeller Narrow-Gauge Railway

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The ride on the Mariazell narrow-gauge railway is really great because the train travels relatively slowly and you can see a lot. The employee took my bike from me right on the platform and secured it in the space provided. Unique!

From the narrow bridge you have a great view of the small weir in the Pielach and the natural bathing area.
