    Franz-Josefs-Bahn - On the imperial trail from Vienna to the Waldviertel.

    From Vienna through the Weinviertel and Waldviertel in comfort: the Franz-Josefs-Bahn offers its passengers a modern train journey on a historic route.

    From the 1860s, the imperial and royal Franz Josef Railway was used as a link between Vienna and Eger in the Czech Republic. Today, it runs 43 kilometers from Vienna via Klosterneuburg, St. Andrä-Wördern and Tulln to Absdorf-Hippersdorf - and on to Gmünd and across the Czech border to České Velenice, where the main station of Gmünd used to be.

    The Franz-Josefs-Bahn thus brings its rail passengers comfortably from the city of Vienna through the Lower Austrian Weinviertel and Waldviertel. Regional trains run on the route to Sigmundsherberg, Gmünd/České Velenice, St. Pölten and Krems.
