Station Weitersfeld

In the largest municipality of the Horn district in terms of area, the Weitersfeld railway station is located on the former northern railway line, which was replaced in 2001 by the nostalgically run line of the Reblaus Express.

The station building may have blended inconspicuously into the railway landscape from Retz to Drosendorf and back again, but Weitersfeld station is the starting point for some very special excursion experiences.

Excursions

• Directly from the station you will be picked up by a wine taxi in the course of the wine tour and taken from farm to farm of the Manhartsberg winegrowers to taste the new vintage.
• It only takes a 5 minute walk from the train station in Weitersfeld to dive into the cool water and holiday feeling, because the Weitersfeld adventure pool offers cooling and refreshment for the whole family.
• The train station in Weitersfeld is also a good starting point for the pilgrimage to the nearby Fronsburger Bründl, the place of pilgrimage can be reached in about 30 minutes on foot.

History

In 2006 heavy rainfall damaged the line between Weitersfeld and Hessendorf and so the operation of the northern railway line between Retz and Weitersfeld had to be shortened. After intensive repair work, however, the line was able to continue running undisturbed at the start of the 2007 season.

Resumption

In 2018, in cooperation with the local warehouses of Langau and Weitersfeld and several companies, a concept for timed line haulage of grain was implemented. A possible extension to other goods is not excluded.
