Hiking

You have to go up from the railway trail - you can walk to the other end of the platform and change sides.

The Semmering-Breitenstein railway hiking trail is not only recommended for train fans. Lots of variety - well-known viewpoints...

Hiking

The Semmering–Breitenstein Railway Trail takes you along the historic Semmering Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from Semmering station to Breitenstein, through idyllic forests and past impressive engineering structures such as viaducts and viewpoints. Highlights along the way include the "20-Schilling View" and the Double Rider Lookout, offering magnificent panoramic views of the railway line and the surrounding mountains. This approximately 10 km long section is well-marked and can be comfortably hiked in about 3–3.5 hours, making it ideal for those who want to combine engineering history with nature.
