Holiday Savings! The Wilde Wunder Card Families save up to € 1,000 through free entry and rides in the Mostviertel and Mariazeller Land

A wealth of free experiences: Exclusively at your Wilde Wunder accommodation provider

The “Wilde Wunder Card” cannot be bought anywhere – all guests staying at “Wilde Wunder” accommodation providers in the Mostviertel Alps, Pielachtal or Mariazeller Land receive it free of charge for the duration of their stay. The campaign begins at most accommodation providers from the beginning of may until the 2nd of November 2021. Some accommodation providers offer the card only in the Lower Austrian holiday season (3th july to 12th september 2021). About 64 Wilde Wunder accommodation providers and 54 Wilde Wunder attractions can be found in unique locations. Annaberg and Mitterbach are in the 170 km² Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park. Türnitz and St. Aegyd/Neuwalde are towns in the Upper Traisental, ’s most forested region. Lackenhof lies at the foot of the Ötscher; Göstling an der , Hollenstein/Ybbs and Lunz at the foot of the Hochkar and the Dürrenstein. Frankenfels is located in the Pielachtal region and Waidhofen/Ybbs is also known as “The city of towers”. The Mostviertler provides a connection to a good neighbourhood: Mariazell in der Steiermark, an important place of pilgrimage.

Half-price travel with the bus and Mariazellerbahn railway

Those who like to explore their holiday region in laid-back fashion by bus and train save 50% of the full fare on many routes in the Mostviertel Alps.

You can find all up-to-date daily schedules and further information on buses and trains in at www.vor.at or +43 (0) 800 222 324, or www.mariazellerbahn.at +43 (0)2742 360 990-1000. This reduced fare applies to the entire Mostviertel line, which connects regional centres with modern air- conditioned intercity coaches. With the bus 640 you can, for example, take a trip from Göstling an der Ybbs to , visit the “town of towers” and then travel onwards with the bus 650 to Ybbsitz and FeRRUM – World of Iron. Mostviertel line buses can also get you from places such as Göstling an der Ybbs, Gaming and Lackenhof am Ötscher to Lunz and the romantic Lunzer See (Lake Lunz), Lower Austria’s largest natural swimming lake at the foot of the Dürrenstein.

Benefits for Wilde Wunder guests in Annaberg, Wienerbruck and Mitterbach: the Postbus and Mariazellerbahn railway offer the following for day trips to Mariazell – with the Wilde Wunder Card you receive a 50% discount on any number of bus trips (whatever section you travel on) and on one return ticket per person with the Mariazeller railway.

When you visit the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park you can also use the Mariazeller railway for your hikes: if, for example, you begin your tour through the Ötschergräben – recognised as Austria’s most beautiful hike 2011 – at Wienerbruck station, the Mariazellerbahn railway will then take you from Mitterbach back to where you started.

The Wilde Wunder Card is valid either on the first OR the last day of your holiday and will help you to save money on your journey home with one of the half-price buses or the Mariazellerbahn railway.
