Ybbstalbahn
Route and stations from Waidhofen am der Ybbs to Gstadt

Here we present the route map of the section, along with pictures of its stations. Clicking on a picture will either enlarge the original or move you to a more detailed page on that location.

The line starts at the Narrow Gauge depot just beside Waidhofen a d Ybbs mainline station, and runs along the river valley into the town itself. It passes the walled town, and with several spectacular bridges runs round the built up area, before turning towards Gstadt and out through the suburbs and eventually into flat farmland.
