How to get here

How do you get to the Gesäuse National Park?

Anyone visiting the Gesäuse National Park should take plenty of time... time to look, marvel and observe and time to let nature work its magic on you. The best way to do this is by travelling on foot, by bike or by public transport. With ÖBB you can get to the National Park in a sustainable, relaxed and safe way!

We are of course aware that the most convenient and fastest means of transport of our time is still your own car. However, we ask you to first check the possibilities of public transport and soft mobility and to leave your own car behind as often as possible...

The Crown Prince Rudolf railway has been running through the Gesäuse for around 150 years. This makes the Gesäuse National Park the only national park in Austria through which a direct railway line runs!

We are very pleased that we have entered into a co-operation with the Austrian Federal Railways to promote each other's services and to continuously improve connections.

Our tip and at the same time our request: Travel with ÖBB!

Book your Einfach-Raus ticket from EUR 36 for 2 people and get off directly in the national park and set off on your hike.
