Hainfeld train station

The current terminus at Hainfeld connects what is probably the largest and most important village in the Gölsental valley with the route of the former Leobersdorf Railway. From here, regional trains run hourly to Schrambach and St. Pölten main station. There are also seamless connections to a number of bus routes to Vienna, Ramsau, Lilienfeld and Mariazell.

The directly adjacent Park & Ride facility provides parking space for 20 cars and thus offers a convenient connection to the public rail network. There is also space for 19 bicycles in the Bike & Ride station.

The history

Due to increased road traffic, the railroad line in the Gölsental gradually lost its economic importance. Although the line was originally designed primarily to supply freight traffic, over the course of time more and more necessary maintenance measures were neglected. As a result, it was no longer possible to ensure cost-covering operation of the line traffic and operations were discontinued for passenger traffic over the Gerichtsberg as early as 2001. Hainfeld station thus became the current end point of a railroad line steeped in history.
