In addition, the route in the Obertraun – Steeg-Gosau section will also have to be closed until 15.5.2024. A rail replacement service has been set up. The bus for the onward journey via Bad Auseee and Bad Mitterndorf to Stainach Irdning is waiting for you at the train station. She does not need to buy extra tickets.
