Heidenreichstein train station

Heidenreichstein station not only represents the terminus of the branch line of the Waldviertelbahn starting from Alt-Nagelberg, but is also the operational "heart" of the route of the Wackelstein Express. The operators of the nostalgic railway are happy to provide information about the historic railway operation and are also available to answer questions about the region. The maintenance of the traction engines and railcars also takes place here, and the vehicle shed can be visited.

Route information

• The Wackelsteinexpress runs the impressive section of the Waldviertelbahn from Alt-Nagelberg to Heidenreichstein and is operated by the Waldviertler Schmalspurbahn Verein. Not only during the main season, but all year round, events and adventure rides take place on the branch line of the Waldviertel narrow gauge railway. The trains can also be hired individually for the very special setting of a personal celebration.

Heidenreichstein moated castle

The moated castle of Heidenreichstein can be reached via two drawbridges and a Renaissance gate. Even if the rocky head on which it is enthroned is not too towering, the castle with its round corner towers is already a mighty structure. The castle, which is still owned by the Heidenreichstein family, can be visited on guided tours.

Cheesemaker's World

The small town in the northwest of the Waldviertel has a lot of excursion and pleasure destinations to offer. One of them should be the Käsemacherwelt Heidenreichstein, because not only with delicious cheese specialties and regional delicacies you are spoiled here, the petting zoo and the show dairy to visit round off the extensive offer of the leisure destination and certainly satisfies every mind.
