Wachauer Advent in Dürnstein — regiobahn

regiobahn, based in Ernstbrunn in Lower Austria, runs this ErlebnisZug from Vienna into the Wachau, a World Heritage landscape on the Danube. The operator promises a relaxed Advent trip without the search for a parking space or winter driving on winding roads, ending at the medieval setting of Dürnstein below a castle ruin.

The ticket includes the train journey there and back, a reserved seat, and entry to the Advent market in Dürnstein. A party wagon rolls with the train, with drinks and small snacks.

The operator notes that, for an extra charge, guests can take the Wachaubahn hourly to a further market in Weissenkirchen; that ticket and the market entry are not included in the train package.
