Paudorf train station

The Paudorf station, which was completely rebuilt in 2008 - 2009, is located along the Krems railway line. A fully glazed waiting house offers protection from wind and weather at the central platform of the two railway tracks. Timetable notices and loudspeaker announcements provide information on current rail traffic. 17 on-site parking spaces for cars as well as the 29 parking spaces for bicycles created by the Bike & Ride facility offer sufficient space and convenient connection to the railway network.

Connections

• Connection to regional trains along the Kremser Bahn to Krems an der Donau and further to Horn as well as to St. Pölten
• Bus connections to Krems on the Danube and Herzogenburg

Hiking trail and summit cross

The Paudorf train station is the best starting point for a hike to the summit cross on the Waxenberg. An easy hiking route stretches along rustic forest paths, which reward you with a magnificent view of the nearby Göttweig Abbey and the nature-rich surroundings.

Sequoia in Paudorf

From 1877 to 1886 Adalbert Dungel was appointed forest master of Göttweig Abbey and planted several seeds of the tree species "Wellingtonia gigantea" in the soil. The resulting stands of giant sequoias can now be counted among the largest in Central Europe and can be seen on the plateau of the Eichberg to the south-east of Paudorf.

History

In 1889 the Krems railway line was opened, providing a connection from Herzogenburg to Krems on the Danube. In the same year the first fire station was built in Paudorf.
