Description
The nostalgically preserved reception building with its typical corner ashlars welcomes guests to Rosenburg station. The station is located along the Kamptalbahn and is known as a through station due to the rail traffic from two directions.
There are sufficient waiting rooms and toilets in the unoccupied station building, and it is also possible to use the adjacent Park & Ride facility. There is also a Postbus stop on the station forecourt.
Starting point
It is not only the imposing steel bridges along the Kamptalbahn that give you an idea that there is history to explore here, you can also see the popular destination for summer visitors - Rosenburg Castle - from the train. The impressive castle complex can be seen from afar, perched high on a mighty rock overlooking the Kamp Valley ("Kamptal" in German).
The Rosenburg circular route takes you directly from the train station to the impressive castle with the largest tournament court in Central Europe. Many of the rooms are freely accessible and a guided tour is also available. With a variety of events such as seasonal markets, jousting tournaments and the impressive bird of prey shows, Rosenburg Castle invites you to do more than just visit.
The extensive culinary offerings, such as the opportunity to experience a traditional knight's meal, round off the excursion experience and promise unforgettable impressions to take home with you.
The history
After the 44 km long Kamptalbahn railroad was opened in 1889, the Renaissance castle in Rosenburg quickly became an important place of recreation for city dwellers. Due to two large mills located in Rosenburg, freight traffic also played a major role, as almost all of the milled products were transported via the Rosenburg junction. However, freight traffic was discontinued at the end of the 1980s and the corresponding handling buildings were demolished. The reception building was then extensively renovated.
Today, the station building is a listed building and is used by ÖBB regional trains once or twice an hour.
