Lilienfeld train station

Safe & barrier-free

The modern designed station Lilienfeld was built in 1892 and after the revitalization in 2012 designed barrier-free throughout. The new mid-valley platform was equipped with a ramp and a guidance system for the blind, thus the station offers high safety standards. Regional trains to St. Pölten main station as well as to Hainfeld and Schrambach are handled at the Traisentalbahn stop.

Thanks to the directly connected Park & Ride facility, space has been provided for 54 vehicles. The covered Bike & Ride facility also offers parking spaces for 34 bicycles and 5 mopeds. The generous design of the station forecourt with 3 bays for connected bus lines including waiting areas completes the comfortable offer of the station.

Lilienfeld Abbey

The impressive Lilienfeld Abbey with its generously laid out Abbey Park is just a 5-minute walk from the station. The impressive building, which almost completely burned down in 1810 and was painstakingly rebuilt in the following years, offers a reverent backdrop for devotional concerts and festive masses. Guided tours through the Cistercian monastery are offered again and again. The monastery's calendar of events also includes tours specially designed for children. The Abbey Park, which was founded in 1826 and is directly adjacent to the Abbey, invites you to take a stroll and promises a relaxing stay in the middle of the landscaped park with its myriad of exotic trees and shrubs.

High up

In half an hour's walk from the railway station you can reach the chairlift to climb high up to the Muckenkogel. With its breathtaking views, it's a great place to stay and enjoy the impressive scenery. If you decide to walk back you should stop at the Lilienfelder Hütte.

History

After the completion of the Western Railway, the go-ahead was given in 1874 for the construction of the railway line in the Traisen Valley. The coal mine in the market town of Schrambach, which provided good locomotive coal, was a valuable asset for the expansion of the economically important railway line. In 1878 the first train ran along the Traisental line.

Today the terminus for passenger traffic is in Schrambach, but since 2012 special trips have been made in the rear valley to St. Aegyd.
