Schrambach train station

Schrambach station is located in the foothills of the Alps in Lower Austria and is the terminus of the Traisental Railway for passenger traffic. The elaborately designed station building with its natural stone façade and pitched roof was built in 1877 at rail kilometer 8.6 along the branch line of the Leobersdorf Railway. There are hourly connections to regional trains in the direction of Traisen and St. Pölten main station.

Traisental circular hiking trail

Schrambach offers an excellent starting point for many a tour along the Traisental circular hiking trail along the foothills of the Alps. The walk is all the easier if you have a destination in mind and the region is well known for its rest stops and refreshment facilities. In about an hour's walk you can reach the Lilienfelder Hut and, via a longer hike, the Otto Kandler Haus, which is also open at weekends and on public holidays.

History of the route

The basis for the construction of the Leobersdorf railroad line was laid by law in 1874 for the route
St. Pölten - Leobersdorf was submitted. This was also done for the planned branch to Schrambach and subsequently to Freiland. Today, passenger services end at the Schrambach stop. After the abandoned Tavern station, the line section continues from Innerfahrafeld to St. Aegyd am Neuwald, which is mainly used for freight traffic. Special passenger services have also been offered again since 2012.
