Donauparkbahn, Narrow gauge railway in Donaupark, Vienna, Austria
Donauparkbahn is a narrow-gauge railway winding through Donaupark in Vienna, linking together different points of the park with three stations along its path. The track follows a figure-eight route that lets passengers travel through the scattered areas of this green space.
The railway opened in 1964 during an international garden exhibition and played a role in converting a former military site. This project helped transform the location from its previous industrial use into a popular park.
The railway connects visitors to different parts of the park and has shaped how people experience this green space for generations. Families and individuals sit in the vintage cars and take in the surroundings as they move through the landscape.
The ride is suitable for everyone and the cars are relatively easy to board, which helps families with children or older visitors. The park itself has paved paths and several rest areas in case you need a break.
The locomotives date from the 1960s and show the design of that era with their distinctive features. These original machines give the railway its retro feel that many visitors appreciate.
