Regional trains from Vienna along the northern railway line to Vienna and Wr. Neustadt as well as to Breclav are served.
Buses to Mistelbach and Vienna connect at the bus stop directly at the station.

History of the station

The Northern Railway was built in the 1830s as the first steam railroad in the Austrian Empire. The Bernhardsthal stop on the double-track main line was provisionally opened in 1871 and was not officially integrated into rail traffic until 1877.

Bernhardsthal ponds

The Bernhardsthal landscape ponds were first mentioned in a document in 1458. This scenic oasis is just a 10-minute walk from Bernhardsthal train station and offers recreation seekers and nature lovers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the idyllic water at any time of year - be it with pedal boats and fishing piers in summer or ice skating and curling in winter.

The two ponds are separated by the Nordbahn brick bridge built in 1839, which is considered to be the oldest preserved structure in Austria's railroad history.
