🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Semmering Railway, built between 1848 and 1854, spans 41 kilometres across the mountains and is one of the greatest feats of civil engineering of this pioneering era of railway construction. The high standard of tunnels, viaducts and other engineering has ensured that the line is still in use today. It passes through a spectacular mountain landscape and along the way there are many fine buildings designed for leisure activities, which were built when the region was opened up by the advent of the railway.
