Schönberg am Kamp train station

The double-track station Schönberg am Kamp follows the traditional design of Austrian station buildings with the typical corner ashlars and offers a convenient connection to the Kamptal line with an adjacent parking lot. During the week, trains run at hourly intervals in the direction of Hadersdorf/Kamp and Sigmundsherberg, with short connections to Vienna.

As soon as you get off the train at Schönberg am Kamp station, you are greeted by an impressive landscape with vineyards as far as the eye can see. The sunny climate, which is sometimes responsible for the best wines of the region, is also reflected in the sunny dispositions of the countless Heurigen and refreshment stops. There is hardly a spot where the door of a winegrower or a wine cellar is not open and invites you to taste and linger.

The wine trail Schönberg am Kamp can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes from the train station. An easy circular walk that leads through vineyards and offers variety with explanations of the different grape varieties and cultivation methods.

A very special experience can be found only 5 minutes walk from the station: the "Straußenland". The entertaining excursion destination for young and old offers a lot of information about the curious animals. The spacious grounds with their spirited operators are worth a visit in themselves, but the farm's baby ostriches are probably the real stars.

Out into the country with the "Busserlzug"

The opening of the Kamptal railway line promised an economic upswing not only for the market town of Schönberg am Kamp, many villages along the Kamp benefited from the convenient accessibility. Not only the easier transport possibility of agricultural products by freight traffic to Vienna was positively accepted. For many city dwellers the interest in the rural area and its benefits as a source of recreation and relaxation grew. This led to the tradition of the summer retreat. As often women and children spent the whole summer in the nature spoiled areas of the Kamptal while the men went to work in the cities, the name "Busserlzug" came into being due to the farewell and greeting scenarios that could be observed at the stations along the Kamptal railway line.
