Driver's cab rides

For true railway enthusiasts, we offer the opportunity to watch the driver at work during a trip in the driver's cab.

Due to the current Covid-19-measures, we do not offer any driver's cab rides currently.

Your day starts at 9:00 am in Laubenbachmühle with a guided tour of the operations centre. Here you see behind the scenes of the Mariazell Railway and visit the station building with the Ötscher model, the workshop, the coach house, the training centre and the operations centre. The experience continues at 9:51 am with the driver's cab ride from Laubenbachmühle to Mariazell. You sit in the driver's station in the Himmelstreppe and take in the stunning scenery of the mountain from the driver's perspective.

An employee of the Mariazell Railway accompanies you to answer any of your questions. After your arrival in Mariazell, you have the choice to return straightaway or wait for the next trip, two hours later.

The experience ends with a souvenir photo and the presentation of a certificate in the Laubenbachmühle operations centre.

The perfect gift for birthdays or special occasions!
