    Hiking

    Right next to Semmering train station, a monument commemorates Carl Ritter von Ghega, the driving force behind the Semmering Railway. Nestled between the tracks, the mountains, and the unique atmosphere of the station, one can sense how closely technology and landscape are intertwined. A brief stop is worthwhile – for a photo and a moment to absorb the history of this place.

    A monument to Carl Ritter von Ghega, the ingenious builder of the Semmering Railway.

    Erected in 1869, nine years after Ghega's death, by the Austrian Society of Engineers and Architects at Semmering Station. Allegedly as restitution for a vehement opposition to the construction of the Semmering Railway expressed in a publication in 1849.

    World Heritage Semmering Railway: a technical masterpiece!
    For hiking, we recommend the railway hiking trail to Gloggnitz. There are many interesting display boards along the way. If you would like to know more, I recommend the Southern Railway Museum in Mürzzuschlag, right next to the train station. suedbahnmuseum.at
