How to get here

How do you get to the Gesäuse National Park?

Wer den Nationalpark Gesäuse besucht, sollte sich viel Zeit nehmen… Zeit, um zu schauen, zu staunen, zu beobachten und Zeit, um die Natur auf sich wirken zu lassen. Dies kann man am besten, wenn man zu Fuß, mit dem Fahrrad oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln unterwegs ist. Mit der ÖBB reisen Sie bequem direkt in den Nationalpark. Wer öffentliche Verkehrsmittel nutzt, kann den Autoverkehr und die damit verbundenen Emissionen reduzieren.

Uns ist natürlich bewusst, dass das bequemste und schnellste Fortbewegungsmittel unserer Zeit nach wie vor das eigene Auto ist. Wir bitten jedoch, zuerst die Möglichkeiten der öffentlichen Anreise zu überprüfen und so oft wie möglich das eigene Auto stehen zu lassen…

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.
