The Mariazellerbahn is a narrow-gauge railway line that runs from St. Polton to Mariazell through lower Austria. While the Mariazellerbahn still operates as a primary means of transportation for many, it is a rapidly disappearing piece of history for anyone touring the country. Running through some of the most remote and picturesque mountain areas in eastern Europe, it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience an old fashioned train ride.
