Railway station Heidenreichstein Moormuseum

The branch line of the northern narrow-gauge railroad runs through the idyllic Waldviertel countryside from Alt-Nagelberg to Heidenreichstein. The Wackelstein Express is a particularly comfortable way to enjoy the varied scenery along the route.

Route information

• A branch line of the Waldviertelbahn runs from Alt-Nagelberg to Heidenreichstein. The Wackelstein Express travels along the tranquil route and passes the Heidenreichstein Moormuseum station shortly before the terminus. The nostalgia express is operated by the Waldviertler Schmalspurbahn Verein (Waldviertel Narrow Gauge Railway Association) and offers adventure offers and very personal special trips all year round.

Heidenreichstein Moor Nature Park

The tranquil moorland landscapes in the Heidenreichstein Nature Park reveal the beauty of the natural landscape at any time of year and invite you to take a long walk. You are also welcome to take a baby carriage, as many of the paths are well paved and older children can let off steam in the local playground.

Moor museum

Not far from the Heidenreichstein Moor Museum stop, the House of the Moor displays a unique collection of exhibits and information on the formation and development of the moor and peat landscapes of Central Europe. As part of a guided tour by appointment, you will gain an insight into the regional flora and fauna, as well as the opportunity to visit the rock collection.
