Friends of the Mariazellerbahn
The railway line from St. Pölten to Mariazell, known around the world as Mariazellerbahn, is a narrow gauge railway located in eastern Austria, in the southern part of the province of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria). There it partially runs through one of the most remote and sparsely populated mountain areas of Austria, just about 80 kilometres from Vienna! It is still a regular line of the Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB, providing daily passenger services on the 85 kilometres long electric mainline from St. Pölten to Mariazell and on a diesel branch line to Mank, both on a 760mm gauge track. On these pages the Friends of the Mariazellerbahn want to provide all the information you will need to decide on a trip with this unique narrow gauge railway. You will find a detailed route description, facts about the line and the region it runs through and and a lot of links to resources of relevance for both, the tourist and the railfan!
