Lilienfeld train station

Safe & barrier-free

The modern Lilienfeld station was built in 1892 and was made completely barrier-free following its revitalization in 2012. The new central platform was equipped with a ramp and a guidance system for the blind, meaning the station offers high safety standards. Regional trains to St. Pölten main station and to Hainfeld and Schrambach depart from the Traisentalbahn stop.

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

Lilienfeld Abbey

The impressive Lilienfeld Abbey with its spacious Abbey Park is just a 5-minute walk from the station. The captivating building, which was almost completely burnt down in 1810 and painstakingly rebuilt in the following years, provides a reverent backdrop for devotional concerts and festive masses. Guided tours of the Cistercian abbey are offered on a regular basis. The abbey's calendar of events also includes tours specially designed for children. Founded in 1826, the directly adjacent abbey park invites visitors to take a stroll and promises a relaxing stay in the midst of the landscaped park with a myriad of exotic trees and shrubs.

Aiming high

In half an hour's walk from the train station, you can take the chair lift up to the Muckenkogel. With its breathtaking views, it's a great place to stay and enjoy the impressive landscape. If you decide to walk back, you should stop off at the Lilienfelder Hut.

The history

After the completion of the Western Railway in 1874, permission was given for the construction of the railroad line in the Traisental. The coal mine in the market town of Schrambach, which supplied good locomotive coal, was a valuable asset for the expansion of the economically important railroad line. The first train ran along the Traisental line in 1878.

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