The history

Gars am Kamp quickly became a popular recreational destination for city dwellers when the Kamptal Railway opened in 1889, providing easy access. But the Kamptalbahn line was not only an asset for passenger traffic. With several large mills along the route, freight transport was also of particular importance. 100 years later, a comprehensive renovation of the Gars-Thunau station was begun.
