Rabenstein an der Pielach railway station

Highlight • Rest Area

17.11.2018 - Station of the Mariazellerbahn. This stop is just a demand stop, push buttons are available at the station. Bench and a large parking lot available. Departures are displayed on a screen. In the station building there is a veterinarian. The station is beautifully painted with the Rabenstein's logo, the raven. Otherwise everything fits, this stop does not look very different from the rest of the Mariazellerbahn.

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

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.

There is a public bathing area by the larger pond, delimited by wooden fences, with shady and sunny sunbathing areas, a wooden terrace and two gravel water accesses for the bathing break in between.
Free access during opening hours, no dogs allowed!


Currently there is a newly designed campsite in a natural environment on most of the site. All of the 28 generously proportioned pitches are located on the banks of the pond, in the first or second row. Separate dog area.

From Thursday to Sunday, a Heuriger, the Seestadl, is open on site and offers the opportunity to stop off.

Good starting point for campers who can start their bike tours from here. An underpass takes you directly to the Pielachtal cycle path and you can go on interesting routes. In Ober-Grafendorf there is a connecting path to the Traisental cycle path. Bike maps available at reception or in the Hofstetten municipal office.

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.
