Station Aalfang

Along the meadows and forests that are so characteristic of the idyllic Waldviertel, the Wackelsteinexpress travels from Alt-Nagelberg via Braunau to Aalfang station. One or two imposing rock formations can already be spotted. The small, old-fashioned reception building adorns the station in the Lower Austrian district of Gmünd. Due to roadworks, this station was the terminus coming from Heidenreichstein in 2011 and 2012. Rail services were only extended to Alt-Nagelberg again in 2013.
