Rail Replacement Service in Summer 2023
Construction work on the Salzkammergut line between Bad Ischl and Attnang-Puchheim

Information for all rail passengers travelling from Vienna and Salzburg to the Salzkammergut. This summer the motto in the Salzkammergut is - Please change trains: Because in the period between 24th July 2023 and 10th September 2023 there will be numerous construction works on the "Salzkammergut Railway Line". Therefore, the sections "Bad Ischl - Ebensee" and "Bad Ischl - Attnang-Puchheim" will be closed in sections. During these times, a rail replacement service has been set up between the respective stations. The buses are parked in front of the stations and are marked with the word "Schienenersatzverkehr". Nevertheless, delays may occur during this period. Please plan for these. We wish you a pleasant journey and look forward to your visit to the Salzkammergut.
